A summertime scene as a five-man assembly line took delivery of watermelons outside Village Farm Grocery on Second Avenue and Ninth Street...
These guys are pretty much a Dream Team and will be tough to beat in any watermelon tossing competition. They'll likely go undefeated this coming season.

Splat!
Cheapest price for trail mix in the EV at $5.99/lb.
Trader Joe is slightly pricier but also a bit better in quality.

It was originally called Torece's Pantry, owned by a man named Mr. Torece who lived in 170 Second Avenue. It was originally a traditional bodega selling sad-looking vegetables until it was Koreanized and occupied the storefront next door. (Originally it was just the corner of 9th street and 2nd avenue.)
nice pic i am a village farm worker (the guy with the green tshirt thanks)
Village Farm is New York to the max. I would call it a superbodega.
Great photos!
