but i think in manhattan, pretty much anything is expected to be expensive; i suppose its as much as where you live as what you buy

Well yes and no. You can buy loads of healthy food anywhere if you know where to go.
I can go to the Gristedes (supermarket) across the street from me and pay $4 for 3 apples, or I can walk a little bit into Alphabet City, and go to the Korean market and get 4 apples, 3 pears and 6 bananas for $4. It's all about brand name...
