> Maybe in NYC they have it figured out, but the trade off is everything cost crazy money.
Yes, living in Manhattan and Brooklyn, this was not a problem. Manhattan had a supermarket on every block. Brooklyn was a little farther, but the variety and quality of the food was excellent. This was a while ago, so don't remember how prices stacked up. Just that on an NYC salary, food was affordable for our family.
Lived in Tokyo and Osaka, but most of that time didn't have to cook much. But remember groceries being very accessible in walking distance.
Vacations in various cities in Italy and Paris, groceries were accessible, very high quality, and affordable.
So I think walkable grocery shopping is a good experience in NYC and big cities outside the US. But probably not great in the median US city.
