Brian Lehrer "Are You Being Gouged?" Results: Cheap Beer at the Red Hook Fairway!

The results are in for Brian Lehrer's latest "crowd sourcing" project on his WNYC program. It's the one where Mr. Lehrer asked listeners to go to the store and record the prices for three items: a quart of milk, a six of Budweiser and a head of iceberg lettuce. The winners are below with Brooklyn figuring prominently into the equation. (The Brian Lehrer website has all the results plotted on a map, a screenshot of which appears above, along with listener comments.) There will be discussion of the results on Brian's show on Thursday, October 11, which starts at 10AM. All we'll say is that if you want to get drunk on Bud as inexpensively as possibly, then get yourself to the Red Hook Fairway. Quickly.
