We were excited when Bed Stuy Blog reported back in July that Bed Stuy would be getting a new market—one that sounded considerably nicer than what the neighborhood has historically been used to. So we were pleased to read that Chestnut Market, as it’s called, has opened. “The kosher supermarket sports a bright clean interior and is, by Brooklyn standards at least, quite spacious,” according to the blog. “The market has a sushi bar in the back, although it wasn’t open when I visited [and] has a really good selection of fruits, vegetables, nuts and snacks.” The only bad news: Don’t go a-shopping from sundown on Friday through Saturday.

“one that sounded considerably nicer than what the neighborhood has historically been used to”
You might have focused on whether or not the store will carry items the neighborhood needs and wants, and reflect its tastes, which after all will determine its success or failure more reliably than will its “niceness.”
I’m sure the prices are higher than the surrounding neighborhood is used to paying as well.
i.e. it’s not a bodega, rob.
Inconvenient if not open Saturday.

Looks like the same people who built the ‘pomegranite’ market down on Coney Island Ave and Avenue M (?)… Nice shop if so.
