Our friends at Gowanus Lounge tells us that his friends at Racked have the goods on the annoucement by Trader Joe’s of their first ever Brooklyn store (their second in New York City).

Hep and I are big Trader Joe’s afficianados out in California. We eat nothing but bean chips, ginger granola, and other TJ specialties when we stay at Hep’s mom’s place in Northern California. We always stop there on our way to the farm from the airport.

Great as this is, I don’t think our friends at Sahadi have a thing to worry about. Brooklyn is getting big enough for everybody, it seems.
