Friendly times at the locally-owned
grocery store
Article and phot o by Eric H.
Danny's Main Street Market, in
the beautiful Village of Cooperstown, N.Y., brings us back to
a friendlier time when neighborhoods showed loyalty to the locally-owned
grocery store.
With "super store"
supermarkets obnoxiously now the rule more than the exception,
it is a revelation to find more intimate, down-to-earth supermarkets
like Danny's Main Street Market successfully thriving in small-town
America. Located right in the heart of a downtown that prides
itself on myriad locally-owned stores, Danny's is a feel good
place where the experience is just as much a social meeting center
as a place to do your weekly grocery shopping, It seems that
everyone knows everyone in Cooperstown and Danny's is a good
barometer of the neighborhood friendships, as evidenced by abundant
conversations. This happy experience can be further extended
by sitting down at the few dine-in tables, reading the paper,
having a cup of coffee or tea, and soaking in the way life used
to be but very much alive in this wonderful retail oasis.
Danny's Main Street Market packs
a lot of food and drink into a minimal amount of square footage,
with its main draw being delicious sandwiches and deli items,
wonderful homemade breads, local beers and specialty foods that
are hard to find in the larger markets.
Nothing is hard to find at Danny's,
whether it be food, drink, or just good conversation. Being here
truly represents the pulse of prideful American store ownership
and happy customers eager to return.
Danny's Main Street Market,
92 Main Street, Cooperstown, N.Y. Tel. (607) 547-4053
