Let us see what Yelpers say about this one way up on Broadway--Oh yes, I can see it on the awning, Gary Null's--pretty good reviews..a lot of people say how small it is...they obviously do not realize most supermarkets in NYC are smaller than those elsewhere and have narrower aisles etc.

Review from A R.
Long Island, NYIt's sad that random shoppers don't understand that the prices here are not the same as corrupt, unsustainable, subsidized Wallmart prices nor is the quality.
Look at it this way, you're not just buying organic produce here--in one of the wealthiest cities and highest rent in the world I might add; you're supporting Gary Null's important health outreach and activism, for example.
If you'd rather support the sometimes cheaper, often unethical, faux hippy Walmart known as Whole Foods Market instead, then bring your money to one of their chainstores and leave your less-than-five-star slipshod review posted here as testimony to your vulgar attitude and ignorance. -

New York, NYHelpful Staff, Great bulk section and awesome green juice! Pricey but worth it! -
Review from Bex H.
It breaks my teeny heart to give Null's 3 stars because their produce is always PERFECT (organic, fresh, washed, ginormous, delicious, plentiful, etc.), but seriously, dude? What is with these prices? They are like LOLable. Let's pretend I wanted some perfect produce and, oh yeah, maybe some OJ. Trader Joe's sells organic OJ for 2.99, Whole Foods sells for 3.99, Fairway sells for 5.99, and Gary Nulls 9.99. That OJ better give me abs of steel or something. Who can afford that? I usually treat myself to a few bushels of greens and call it a day.
HIGHLIGHTS: All Organic Market, Unique and interesting finds, Juice Bar
BUZZKILLS: Prices only a corporate suit could love, friendly yet not very knowledgable staff -
Review from Angela K.
Small little health store filled with all kinds of organic, raw, vegan and other special dietary needs products! I babysit for a family nearby and we always come in here. Even if we are not purchasing anything, just walking by they will give the kids free natural Lollipops! :)
Staff is mixed.. Some are super friendly and others clearly are not cut out for the customer service industry.
Prices are mixed too.. Some of it it's way overpriced, other items are standard. It's a good back up if you don't have time to run down to trader joes or whole foods. -
Review from Rilka S.
Manhattan, NYOne of the best organic, vegetarian & health food stores in the city. While it may not have the vast selection of the big chains, it's a great & homey place to shop. -
Review from Beee K.
Brooklyn, NYI'm writing this review mostly for my husband.
He loves listening to Gary Null's radio show.
We came here several times in order to fulfill my husband's curiosity.
I ended up liking this place a lot and here's why.
They have AWESOME handmade raw chocolates.
I think store staff makes them.
Although 2 times out of 7, I couldn't get the chocolates. Either they were sold out or people didn't make them.
I still dream about the raw chocolates...
To satisfy my raw chocolate cravings, I bought another raw chocolate there that was not made by the store staff. I can't remember the name of it, but the stuff was horrible. Couldn't finish one bite. I had to throw them away. It was sad. It was like throwing away my cash and my hope for a good chocolate.
Anyway, my husband still talks about it and we will be back there again. Hopefully I can get good store made raw chocolate then. -
Review from Pritha R.
Brooklyn, NYDid you know that if your shrink has an office in the Upper Westside and your appointment falls on the 1st of the month, you can save 20% at this natural foods store with aisles so narrow that 13-yr-old anorexic teenagers would have to gut suck to squeeze through?
Also: if you haven't seen your grandparents for a while stop off here. All of the grandparents in Manhattan will be present.
And for God's sake, do something with your hair before you go. -
Review from Chris R.
Manhattan, NYLet me put it this way. I live only 2 block from Fairway market on 74th but when my girlfriend and I want "high quality produce" we are always happy to take the hike uptown to Gary Null's because they simply have the best Organic selection I've ever seen. Its clear that they spend a lot of time hand picking each item of produce because everything is always in such fantastic condition. As any staunch Organic supporter will tell you, buying organic sometimes means you have a smaller selection with fewer options and if you aren't lucky enough to shop just after a delivery then the produce is all beat up and picked through. This is not the case at Gary Null's. I even find I can shop faster because I don't have to "dig through" to find the good stuff. ITS ALL GOOD! I should also mention that their produce is ALL 100% organic. Unlike other places that try to mix conventional with Organic in the hopes you don't notice (Cough-WholeFoodsMarket-Cough) everything you see at Gary Nulls is organic. Then as a healthy vegan shopper I say the rest of the store's selection is top notch. For a small sized store they are very efficient with the brands they cary. No fluff!
Don't Miss: the organic juice bar up front! Grab a juice and drink it while you shop! They also have an extensive vitamin and herbal counter with knowledgeable staff to help you find what you need.
Watch Out For: The Vegan donuts up front. They are by Vegan Divas and sadly they are the most overpriced and underwhelming vegan desert product I've ever had in my life. NOT worth the $2.50 for the single Donut. Wouldn't even eat another one if it were free. This is literally my only warning about this shop. I recommend that instead of Vegan Divas they strike a deal with Dunwell Donuts in BK. The best vegan organic donuts in the world. -
Review from Melissa P.
Manhattan, NYAs a newbie to the City, I was a little wary of trying something local (seeing as the only reason I found it was to find the National Whole Foods) but I am happy to report I was pleasantly surprised.
The selection is fair, minus one star for being a bit pricey. But the staff was incredibly helpful. I walked in assuming I wouldn't buy anything and ended up with my arms overflowing so- get this- the cashier actually brings me a basket. There is a good selection for fellow gluten free souls, and a pretty large selection of bulk items, which helps to keep the price down.
Good selection of juices
Fair selection of vitamins and supplements- also a bit pricey.
Yes I will be back, and we will see how this relationship unfolds. -
Review from Jeff S.
A decent little minimarket with a bunch of vegan and natural products in stock. Prices can be on the high side and the service is indifferent, but they really do have a good mix of items, some of which can be hard to find, like trace minerals.
Unless you live in the vicinity, I don't really see a reason to go out of your way to shop here. You can get 75% of this stuff at Whole Foods at a better price.
And for what it's worth, it really bugs me that this guy weaseled "Whole Foods" into the store name. If you Google whole foods and the zip, this store shows up first, not the legit store on 98th and Columbus. Jerks. -
Review from Marc R.
Been going to this place for the last 4 years when I'm spending time in the 'hood. It's clean, the staff is friendly enough and they have a decent selection of organic considering it's not that big of a store. I've been in a bunch of other smaller corner grocery stores and they just don't seem as convenient and well stocked at this one. You can't go wrong with this joint.
