I think part of the reason Whole Foods is so great in New York is that the city doesn't really have a great local alternative. In Chicago you've got Dominick's and Jewel, the nicer locations of which are not bad; on the West Coast you've got Safeway. In Manhattan you've mostly got places like Food Emporium and Gristedes, which are complete crap.
