I go to Cornell, and I will tell you that every student takes their family to Wegmans as some sort of spectacle. Sure, there are amazing waterfalls, gorges, art, and culture in Ithaca, but what everyone really wants is to see the everyday experience of shopping elevated to an artform. Wegmans is a magical place, I must say. Look out though, I'm becoming partial to the Tops renovations with their undershelf lighting, halogen spot lights, and even larger organic section (like on North French).

When I first moved here, I immediately fell in love with Wegmans. Two friends I knew from back where I grew up came out for a Bills game, I swung by Wegmans to pick some stuff for our tailgate.

These two guys whom I've known since third grade, and have virtually no interest in food other than eating it, walked around awestruck. When they came out again next year for a game, one of the first questions they asked was "Can we go to Wegmans?"

Good for Wegmans. Hope they keep up the good work. Another thing about W is that they carry local products along with the national brands which is good. Whole Foods is so overrated and overpriced. "Whole Paycheck" for sure!

My first visit to Wegmans was a rainy day back in March of 2005. It was like a kid hiting DisneyWorld for the fist time. Even though I shop at the Lexington Coop now to support my neighborhood and cut down on the drive time, I still love Wegmans!
