It’s Official: L’Epicerie Est Morte [Brownstoner]
Place has bad karma, owner is a known thief, watch out.
the name is a disaster.pfft.
I live on that corner, and honestly could not be more excited at the possibility of the Cellars bldg getting a visual makeover AND great food, and also L’Epicerie becoming a ‘Choice’-style hot soup spot!
However, I am in agreement with those who find the name regrettably groan inducing.
Heather, your French couldn’t be more horrifying than that of most quebecois – and the mangling of langues sounds pretty sexy, actually.
“Randolph, I point you to the German beer garden on Fulton, whose name I cannot pronounce. Der Schwar… anything that an American can’t spell or pronounce, basically.”
Heather, it actually means “The Black Guy from Cologne” in German. Really, it does. But you can just call it the beer garden like everyone else. Beer tastes the same. A name’s just a name.
Agree on Fort Greene having a ton of french speakers. I get to mangle their langue at them all the time now lately.
On a related note, we’re going on holiday a Montreal et mon mari has forbidden me to speak French there. Ever.
High-quality, moderately priced prepared foods sounds like a winner despite the silly name.
It is amazing that neighborhood commercial strips are becoming food courts as almost all other merchandising gets sucked into the internet.
really? flat out refusing to even try a place simply because you disapprove of the name? talk about a closed mind.
11217, if the food is good, this place will get action – not like it’s over-built with redundant shops like your hood – ie dont think there’s another shop in this hood to offer something similar
