As I first reported last month, Brooklyn's Union Market will open a fancy new shop on Avenue A and Houston that will include a beef-aging facility and personal shopping services...
Meanwhile, the current tenant at 240 E. Houston St., Houston Deli & Grocery, closes today...
I stopped by during the weekend. I asked about the closing date. The owner, shaking his head and fighting back tears, said several times, "They wouldn't offer us a lease..."
Not much left...

I really liked these guys. The last time I talked to them, they said they were looking for a new location, but it didn't sound very promising.
Sad to see someone forced out like that, I hope they can find a new space.
BEST TURKEY SANDWICHES EVER.
:(
Great sandwiches can still be had over at Gracefully down the block. Let's hope the carpetbaggers from Brooklyn don't vanquish the few longtime neighborhood businesses left on Ave A.
