New England...or even NY-Queens! And no good deli? How can anyone survive without decent deli?

I know, there aren't many choices--ya have to find a farmer's market or suck it up. The Food Lion is pretty ghastly, Trader Joe's is good for some stuff but they aren't really a super-duper produce joint, and the Whole Paychecks are just absurdly expensive!

EDIT--I used to go to an Albertson's that wasn't convenient to my house at all, but was convenient to a meeting I had to go to about once a month--it was within striking distance of the beltway and they had some good stuff; dunno if it is still open! They didn't have a lot of produce but at least what they had didn't rot in a day!
