Yesterday afternoon I was walking to Mary O's because she started serving brunch this weekend, and I noticed Graceland put up a sign (should have taken a pic) that said due to the economy they were being forced to close. Employees mentioned a new deli is coming in, possibly buying some of their inventory for a faster switch over. At this point is sounds as though some of the employees will be kept on, fingers crossed. Unfortunately I can't imagine a new place is going to clear enough $ to make up for the astronomical rate hike. Unless they jack everything up to Gracefully prices.
Thanks, Ryan. Yeah, I'm with you — you'd think to meet that preposterous rent hike, a new deli will have to charge a small fortune for food. And there are some people I know who already complain about Graceland's prices.
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

I could never reach that high on those shelves anyway...
Still saying ten days. And it's going to remain a grocery.
Thanks for the info, BaHa...
