The Supermarket

With thousands of products across countless shelves, the modern supermarket is a kind of miracle, and a world unto itself. We invited writers to share their supermarket stories, asking: Have you had an epiphany while pushing your cart through the aisles? Did you need milk but came home instead with a kitten? Did you meet someone while contemplating smooth vs chunky peanut butter? Did you witness a fight, a birth, a shoplifter? What was it like to shop during the pandemic? Were you the reason for the “mop to aisle twelve”? Do you wait in line for a favorite cashier or bagger? Did you work in a supermarket in high school—a time of curfews and raging hormones? Join us for an engaging afternoon of stories and community at City Winery NYC. Reception to follow (tickets on sale January 10).
