Licensed retail food stores in the five boroughs, sized by reported square footage. Mayor Mamdani has said the city will open one public supermarket in each borough; the first is planned for La Marqueta in East Harlem. This map is a baseline for asking which neighborhoods have a real supermarket today and which do not. The underlying state license file does not distinguish supermarkets from pharmacies, dollar stores, breweries, or bakeries; this map applies a name-based filter, but it is imperfect. Data current as of September 2025; new openings (e.g., Lidl at 120 5th Ave, Brooklyn) are missing. Methodology & sources →
