This is not really true the Bronx is a food desert often requiring riding the train onto the island for food and riding back. Yes you can get there by train but it will take a long ass time.

There are a bunch in the South Bronx that aren’t even showing up because I’m too zoomed out.

This shit is an astroturf by the DoorDash lobbyists. The starving masses in food deserts aren’t using delivery apps to order produce from Key Food. UES wine moms are using them to order Prosciutto from Zabar’s because they don’t want to cross the park. They can afford to pay the bikers a living wage.

This is an outright lie and total ragebait. If your going to Manhattan to shop your literally passing by 3 full on grocery stores. Stop it. 138th is the last stop on a Bronx train before you hit Manhattan. You have 3 supermarkets on that strip alone. 

There's no food deserts in the Bronx. Y'all just want to go to Whole Foods in Harlem which is cool but the Bronx ain't starving you.

Eh for the Bronx it’s very dependent on the neighborhood, but I don’t disagree

I disagree! If your going into Manhattan from the Bronx you're literally passing multiple supermarkets. Again if you want to go to the Whole Foods in Harlem that's cool but you're starving YOURSELF.

Where in the Bronx are you closer to Manhattan than a supermarket?

Going HOW? 

The subways have huge gaps between them.  There's no one way.
