apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Those of us who work at non-profits might find it hard to shop regularly at Whole Foods. While their dairy is often cheaper than other stores', it's the produce, meat and fish that dig into the wallet a little too deeply.

Occasionally, though, when you're not in the mood to get run over by strollers at Fairway and you didn't plan ahead for FreshDirect, the behemoth that is Whole Foods bekons.

This week's Foodie At Large is a fellow non-profiter from Brooklyn.
