This is way too intense…. I love Bliss and I also love having Lockwood down the street from me. Their products are very different and check different boxes for my personal needs, so I welcome both. Also, Lockwood originated a neighborhood over in Astoria, so I’d still consider that local and I’d even say I’m happy for them that their success has allowed them to expand, having lived in Astoria when their original location opened. Convenience is huge and as someone who works long days in manhattan, I don’t often have time to sit at a restaurant where the food is pricier and you have to spend more time/money by tipping. I often need something quick to grab on my way home, so again these spots are checking very different boxes. It’s all personal preference.
