Anyway, meant to note that Vella Market is now open... we first got word of the new market last July.
Our friends at MoRUS also sent along a few photos from last evening...
The previous tenant, Kate's Joint, the 16-year-old vegetarian eatery, closed about this time last year.
Anyone try Vella yet? A former manager of Gracefully on Avenue A is running the place, a neighbor noted...

If a former manager of Gracefully is running it, I can expect mediocre sandwiches and a bizarrely overextended selection of bad balsamic vinegars and stale cheeses.
I was just thinking it was funny all the sandwiches had the same names as the ones at Gracefully! This is great news for me as I live on 5th and B and love Gracefully sandwiches. I walked by on Sunday (they opened Saturday night) and it looked like they still needed to fill a little space/label some things with prices, but the things that were labeled seemed reasonable and they employees were all nice. I'll be back!
This corner is insane now, there is a gourmet bodega on 3 or the 4 corners.
"Michael Nesmith" - from the Monkeys? His mom invented White-out. Boz Scaggs? Just how old is that photo? But I do love me some Lido Shuffle oo-oo - oooo - ooo.
And Romy and Michelle invented post-its!
In 1951, Bette Nesmith Graham invented the first correction fluid in her kitchen. Working as a typist, she used to make many mistakes and always strived for a way to correct them. ...Graham's son Mike Nesmith, guitarist/singer in the popular 1960s pop band The Monkees, was the primary heir to her fortune upon her death in 1980.

Ha! I was thinking the same... I actually took that photo Saturday morning.
They don't need White-out to correct the spelling of "vegeterian"
RIP KATES
