The sign came down a few weeks ago. Then signs announcing a “close-out sale” with 50 percent off “shelf items” went up. But when we stopped by this morning, grocery store Choice Greene was open for business as usual.
The man behind the counter told us they’re not closing, simply getting rid of the current inventory. Future plans are not certain, but will focus on Choice’s own prepared foods rather than grocery items, he said. Owner Thierry Cabigeos did not immediately return our call asking for more information.
In addition to this location at 214 Greene, which is always busy whenever we stop by, Cabigeos runs a popular restaurant and takeout spot, Choice Market, at 318 Lafayette Avenue. And, of course, Dough. GMAP

Please, there has to be something in between the two extremes. And until that time, I’ll keep “importing” my food from places like Trader Joe’s ….
Why don’t you just go to the Associated? Or the Met?
if you buy anything other than coffee and muffins here, you’re either lazy as hell or a gazillionaire
