People have to take advantage of these supermarkets irrespective of how expensive the products are in them. There is constant chatter about people living below the poverty line not being able to afford healty food, however, those same people buy their kids brand name clothing (Nike Jordan shoes for $100 and more). Cut on spending that is not essential and spend more on beneficial things for the body and mind. Gradually, amenities are coming to a neighborhood that has been long overdue for them.

It's grazing the southern edge of Morningside Heights and therefore in a fully gentrified neighborhood with plenty of good grocery stores. Even if you live at 116th Street (I live at 144), it's still a full 20 blocks away -- making it an unlikely grocery store choice for someone who lives uptown. Not really.

Also, last time I checked, 97th and Columbus isn't Harlem so I don't see how this new Whole Foods is relevant.
