Lasker's is a neighborhood convenience store on the smallest scale. Many items are ask-for-only since the stock up to the ceiling. An original Victorian store front; it's one of the few brownstone storefronts in the Ellis Neighborhood that were not re-zoned for condos. It has an old school feel from cool but cheery help to the unfinished wood floor to the store-cats who work/live there. A recent "backroom" was renovated to include organic/natural foods (grocery, refrigerator and freezer cases) And morning deliveries of Sel De La Terre breads and pastries. There is also fresh brewed organic coffee in the mornings, selfserve. Except for the latter, expect steeped prices for the convenience.

A good old fashioned one-stop health food store. Prices are fair. Small fridge and freezer section, produce and grocery items. Large health and Beauty section and the staff - very knowledgeable about their products as well as all the well known diets, methodologies, healing styles out there. They even dish about local naturopaths and holistic practitioners.
