Streetlevel: Urban Rustic in North Burg
On Friday, Williamsburgers who care about where their food comes from will have a new place to shop.

On Friday, Williamsburgers who care about where their food comes from will have a new place to shop. A new space that harkens back to a small-town general store will open under the banner of Urban Rustic at 236 North 12th Street. The organic and sustainably-produced food (cheese, meat, vegetables, coffee and prepared foods) will be supplemented by in-store lectures and workshops all meant to create a sense of community around the 2,600-square-foot store. All the new condo owners on Bayard Street must be psyched.

$4.50 for milk.. and all the money they saved chopping their own trees, sheesh..it wont be overcrowded 8:53, you are safe.
The tuna is niiiiiiiiiiiice! (in Borat accent)
I’ve been looking forward to the opening for a while now since I live around the block. Upon running out for some emergency milk this morning all I can say is these people have some huge balls. They are charging $4.50 (+$1 deposit) for a bottle of milk that costs $2 from the farmers market. I understand a certain amount of markup will happen when you buy from someone like this, but come on thats insane!
i have nothing but respect for these guys at urban rustic. it looks like they have a great product and are sincere in their efforts to improve the neighborhood and offer a unique product. i live in the area and that is exactly what we needed – now we won’t be running to bedford to buy crappy overpriced bodega groceries. hopefully the place won’t become too crowded it’s got a great location and it was a no brainer to put a market/cafe there.
to all the naysayers on this site you are absolutely pathetic. wallow in your negativity and hatred all you want – and enjoy dropping four bucks for a can of pringles in some roach-infested deli as you stumble home to your crapball rental.
christ it’s not like they put a starbucks in there, assholes.
You’re not dreaming you’re in brownstoner land!
because artist hipsters are “better” than yuppies, right?
“This neighborhood is in the continuing process of getting destroyed by yuppies.”
YES! Damn them and their fresh produce!
Don’t they know the definition of a true unspoilt neighborhood means buying crappy veggies at a shady bodega?!?
english slang (like a true hipstard)
This neighborhood is in the continuing process of getting destroyed by yuppies.
