Vote: What's The Worst Grocery Store In NYC?

NEW YORK CITY — What's the worst? Is it paying a month’s rent for a small bag of fresh fruit? How about waiting 18 hours for your box of rotten meat to arrive? Or what about combing through long, dusty aisles in search of not-yet expired milk?

Here’s what we’re asking: What’s the worst grocery store in New York City?

Patch has reached the final stage of its epic quest to name the worst grocery store in the city and we need your help … again.

Every week, we've released a new poll in four different terrible grocery store categories: pricey, discount, chain and online. And every week, you named a winner:

• Worst pricey grocery store: Dean & Deluca
• Worst discount grocery store: Food Bazaar
• Worst chain grocery store: Gristedes
• Worst online grocery store: FreshDirect

Now the winners of each mini-contest will take on one another in our final contest to name worst grocery store in New York City.

The store named Worst In The City will win a title we're sure they won’t be bragging about to their grocery store friends.

Last week, we asked you which is the worst online grocery store in New York City? This week, we make the finalists battle out.

Which store sucks the most? You have one week to decide.
