Trader Joe's plans 2 new New York stores. See where they're going

Two new Trader Joe's stores are planned for New York, expanding the popular grocery chain's presence in the state. The California-based retailer announced plans this summer to open new locations in the Syracuse area and Yonkers as part of its latest nationwide expansion. The plans add to the company's growth in New York, which includes a Long Island store that opened earlier this year. The expansion comes as Trader Joe's continues to draw shoppers with its private-label products and competitively priced groceries. Where are the new Trader Joe's stores? According to Trader Joe's, the two planned stores will be located at: Camillus: 3515 W. Genesee St., in the Syracuse area. Yonkers: 2482 Central Park Ave. The Camillus store, located just west of Syracuse in Onondaga County, will be about 9,000 square feet and become the area's second Trader Joe's.

We Ranked The 10 Best Eastern European Restaurants In New York And Here Are The Results

One of the best plates of pierogi in New York comes out of a former church. I did not see that coming, and honestly, it feels a little perfect for food this comforting. Eastern European cooking has always felt a little sacred to me, like a family ritual. Recipes like these crossed oceans in someone’s memory, and they still taste like home to the families who carried them.
