Welcome to Brooklyn’s coolest Superfund site.
Brooklyn’s first Whole Foods Market finally opened in Gowanus on Tuesday morning with Borough President Marty Markowitz on hand, along with other elected officials and hundreds of local residents, as the “foodie-in-chief” broke bread to commemorate the new store.
“Finally, after all of these years, they have gotten the store open, and another one in Williamsburg is right behind,” Markowitz boasted. “They kept my promise of opening the store before my term is over, but, with only 15 days left, they cut it pretty close.”
