I've never commented on here before but the outpouring of hate and ill-will towards L'epicerie has shocked me into doing so. Their cheese was actually fresher than other markets like union market and greene grape, there weren't a million kinds but what they had was from better distributors. also as far as the prices go if you knew how to shop there, like if you bought the unique and incredible toulouse sausages and some of their fresh salad greens you could eat very well for pretty cheap. also they would happily cut the smallest slices of their cheeses so you weren't forced to buy way more than you needed. in addition the owners would make incredible banana muffins on saturdays with organic bananas and french butter that were better than any muffins in the city. the owner would periodically fish on long island and bring the fish directly into the store thereby offering the absolute freshest fish around. and finally doesn't anyone care that they had far and away the best quiche for the cheapest price in the whole damn neighborhood? due to the unfortunate closing i was recently forced to get the quiche from choice market and literally almost puked. quiche is really hard to get right and they had theirs everyday, freshly baked for only 5 bucks. truly a beautiful little place, my favorite in brooklyn. enjoy man-hole jerk-offs.
