If you’re like us, you’re probably a huge fan of Meadow Lane, the luxurious gourmet grocery store in Tribeca founded by Sammy Nussdorf. Known as the “Brokeback Contessa” on TikTok, Nussdorf has taken us on a journey through the highs and lows of opening his dream store, showcasing his dedication to perfecting dishes like chicken salad and beef bowls with honesty and candor.
The buzz surrounding Meadow Lane is palpable, with Gen Z friends and coworkers expressing envy when we scored an exclusive preview a month before the grand opening. As we strolled back to the office with our Meadow Lane tote bag, we were stopped multiple times by curious onlookers eager to learn more about this highly anticipated grocery store.
While we may not have formal training in reviewing grocery stores, we are self-proclaimed luxury grocer aficionados, having sampled offerings from Round Swamp Farms in the Hamptons to The Farmshop in Los Angeles. Our quest for the perfect chicken salad led us to Meadow Lane, where we discovered a new level of grocery shopping experience.
While Happier Grocery has been a favorite in New York, Meadow Lane has set a new standard in gourmet grocery shopping. From the delectable honey mustard to the meticulously curated selection of products, there is truly nothing quite like Meadow Lane. Despite the inevitable queue, the experience of shopping at Meadow Lane is well worth the trip.
With its unique offerings and impeccable attention to detail, Meadow Lane has solidified its place as a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts. Whether you’re in search of gourmet delights or simply want to indulge in a luxurious shopping experience, Meadow Lane delivers on all fronts. Don’t miss out on this culinary gem in the heart of Tribeca.
