Heh, I was going to say the same thing about F. Martinella. However, they DO have a GREAT selection (I eat a lot of cheese) and the prices aren’t bad (better than Key Food, since they jacked up prices a few months ago). I go there weekly, and my only problem is their employees are dumb as hell. I mean, they’re aren’t ignorant Duane Reade types… they are just plain dumb. I had to explain to a girl at the deli that a half pound was actually “.50”, not “.25”. Seriously, she didn’t know.
re: F Martinella
Why was there a “Grand Opening”for a place thats been “open” for like 4 months? 6 months?
Why do they “feature” Board Head products when in fact they are -owned- by Boards Head?
Lame…
162 16th Street – Is that the Vue? Right across the street from the new community outreach facility they are building?
