Jubilee Marketplace, a Greenpoint grocery store with locations in Williamsburg and FiDi, has a knack for going viral. First, the internet rode hard for their $2.50 (now $2.90) burgers, then their $4.99 rotisserie chickens, and then their sub-$20 chirashi bowls, which layer 10 different types of fish so intricately that their disposable container vessels almost feel inappropriate. In other words, Jubilee Marketplace makes food that people like—we are people—for great prices. (Imagine!) You can of course also pick up fresh produce and Doritos, too. But the prepared foods are where it’s at, and the selection extends far beyond the popular items. Come for that chirashi bowl and you’re liable to leave with a bottle of store-made Peruvian green sauce, fresh guacamole, and an impressive assortment of banchan. And even if you way overspent downstairs, where most of the groceries and prepared items live, stop by the upstairs hot food area on your way out and snag one of those burgers. It’ll cost you less than the subway trip home, after all.
