It's Official: L'Epicerie Est Morte

It’s all over now for L’Epicerie, the small neighborhood butcher and grocery spot that had been struggling for the last couple of years. The shop at 270 Vanderbilt Avenue in Fort Greene closed its doors for an August holiday this year and they just never reopened. Now, according to a local business owner, the space is in play. What would you like to see in this location? It’s a pretty sweet location—just think of all the foot traffic from The Flea on Sundays! GMAP
Thanks for flower shop recs! I agree, a bookstore would also be a cool touch. Just to add to Cellars discussion, I saw some construction signs in the Cellars II windows but could’ve sworn original Cellars was still open (anyone go there when they served free buffet with drinks?). I think there was a death within the family within the year…not sure if that’s connected with closing?
gwbrubaker…are you gay or just an opportunistic breeder who wants to make a buck on the fact that we tend to drink alot and lots of us order expensive fancy drinks (although not me)? Although one bar I go to in manhattan has a sign “Our house wine is Jagermeister” LOL
The person that wanting to take over Cellars for years is me.
I”ve been wanting to open a gay bar here in CH for years…it’s a better bet than hedging on the Stock Market!
…or “Get Fresh Direct”
I suspect the same fate awaits Get Fresh on Fifth. The prices are so high, they should call it Get Real.
I was at the bookstore party and it seemed to be a big success. My roommate and I were trying to think of 1500-2000sf spaces available and were having a hard time…
If I ask for a Starbucks… oh, never mind.
I liked their sandwiches too. And I always meant to buy a chicken, even if they were like, $25.00.
Wasn’t anyone at the Fort Greene Indy Bookstore thing last night? I know an independent bookstore that is looking for 1500-2000 sf. Also, what IS the story with Cellars? Why has it been empty so long?
