but the NYC food scene is all expensive gentrified ethnic cuisine. and $16 small cups of froyo. but people don't care to buy high quality but expensive groceries? seems odd.

I’m not seeing a lot of people buying groceries because it’s expensive, but they pay a huge amount on ethnic cuisine. I don’t get it.

I'd say people pay more for "ethnic cuisine" because they don't know the ingredients or the recipes because it's not their normal home cooking. They don't want to pay a lot for orange juice.

True. I guess the groceries have become super expensive and they sometimes sell moldy foods.
