Guidebook for Brooklyn
Essentials
Walking directions: Turn left going out of the building and take your first left on Schenectady. 2 blocks down on your right is the grocery store (it is actually no longer called Associated Supermarket, but that is the name that the Internet still knows). There is also a great produce place right next door, SK Farm (just before you get to the larger grocery store - you will see all the produce out in front).
