Gingersnap's Organic opening at former Mikey's Pet Shop on Seventh Street

Back in July, Dave on 7th told us that the former Mikey's Pet Shop on Seventh Street near Avenue A...



... would become an "organic, healthy food market."

Well, Dave on 7th sends along a shot of the sign that just went up on the front door...


Gingersnap's Organic featuring "handcrafted conscious cuisine."

And they have a website, though there's isn't much info yet.

    It is virtuously impossibe for any company to use the word 'organic' anymore without accompanying it with extremely predictable terms such as '(xxxxx)crafted'

    I bet they will sell a wonderful locally sourced, artisanal, rooftop hummus.

    I think they forgot the 'artisanal' in that advert...I really don't want my food conscious when I eat it.

    rooftop hummus, that's a good one.

    @nygrump: good point but you'd rather have "healthy food" than "ailing food" right? But seriously folks, it's a shame about semantics these days isn't it. I mean overuse of hollow buzz-words is troubling, but this inept bungling of basic vocabulary is also a pervasive problem that merits its own concern.
