Editor’s note: Senator Gillibrand recently discussed the prevalence of food deserts in New York City, including certain areas on Staten Island, while introducing new legislation to combat this issue. While there will be a new BJs in Mariners Harbor, which was not a true food desert due to the presence of Western Beef, Mekkah Mart, and other large grocery stores in walking distance, there are other areas for which this is the case, such as parts of Bay Street and Richmond Terrace, where residents have to walk far distances to get reasonably priced groceries. In the other boroughs, particularly the Bronx, there are many food desert areas.
