Whole Foods fans—the store’s celebrating its first birthday Friday.  There’s cake too.  And “local” Upper West Side foods, whatever that means.

This Friday marks the 1-year anniversary for the opening of Whole Foods Market on the Upper West Side. To celebrate our birthday, we’re inviting the neighborhood to come commemorate with a slice of cake and a toast to the community.

From African Peanut Soup and Dominican Rice and Beans to beer and wine, all of the food served will be as local as it gets – honoring the history of the neighborhood.
