Bay Ridge gets it’s unique character from the locals that give it friendly but no-nonsense charm, and it’s color from working class immigrants that breath life to this sprawling neighborhood. In recent years younger design-centric folks like us who are moving into the neighborhood are giving it new dimension. Whether you want to picnic on the grass of owl head’s park with your falafel sandwich or you’re planning to cook a feast of exotic asian delicacies at our large Chinese Markets, you’ll find what you need, with some surprises along the way.

In a city where big businesses like Whole Foods dominate the natural and organic food market, it’s lovely to see a small business like Apple Tree thriving. They cater to folks looking to live a healthier and holistic lifestyle in Bay Ridge. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff helps add to the familial environment of the store. Whatever specific natural product you may be looking for, you will most likely find there—and while you’re there pet the store mascot Nicky the cat.
