Another lost corner market?

Several readers sent along word that the Olympic on First Avenue at 13th Street abruptly closed ... it could simply be for renovations, though you think they'd leave a sign....



... plus, there aren't any work permits on file with the DOB...

Meanwhile, speaking of shuttered delis... The East Side Gourmet Deli closed last month on East Fourth Street and Avenue B.... word is another deli is taking over the space... EV Grieve contributor Bobby Williams took this shot yesterday....



The 13th Street and First Avenue location is particularly troublesome... There are four chains in close proximity — Dunkin Donuts, Subway, the Vitamin Shoppe and Papa "Is in the house!" John's.

Seems like the kind of set-up that 7-Eleven is getting a Slurpee Boner for.

    And my heart is still broken because DiBella Brothers is gone from that corner.

    Just to prove the point that things CAN suck more than before.

    I think Olympic is just closed for renovations. There actually was a large banner that was up for a few weeks stating that it would be under renovation and would get a new name (I can't remember what right now.) We overheard someone saying that it was going to be closed for a month. Though, I haven't seen any activity there yet.
