 NEW YORK (AP) - The Greenmarket farmers stood behind their bins of vine-ripened tomatoes and organic spinach and eyed their colossal new neighbor on the other side of Manhattan's Union Square Park.
A brand-new 50,000 square-foot Whole Foods grocery store has opened its doors, proudly displaying fresh vegetables and farm-raised chickens of its own.
With honking buses and one of the city's biggest subway stations between them, the grand opening provides an urban stage for a natural food battle between a New York institution and an international chain.
