Meadow Lane & The Cult of “Luxury” Grocery Stores

#meadowlane #overconsumption #consumerism
Meadow Lane is Tribeca’s newly opened “luxury gourmet” grocery store that’s being called the “Erewhon of New York City.” Some of the items they sell include $17 gluten-free chicken nuggets, $15 juices, $625 caviar tins, and $85 sweatshirts (among other culturally appropriated gentrified foods.) On the store’s opening day hundreds of people queued for hours in freezing weather just to get in, with some arriving as early as 4am. And of course, influencers are also doing these elaborate Meadow Lane grocery hauls. Since it’s been open, customers have reported raw chicken nuggets, among other offenses.
