2 new delis for Avenue C

Well, we've heard from several correspondents — Dave on 7th, Bobby Williams and Matt LES_Miserable — that a new deli is in the works for the empty storefront on the southwest corner of Avenue C at 11th Street...



The last tenant, the Monk Thrift Shop, closed in December 2010. At the time, neighbors heard that a bank branch would open here.

Anyway, nothing in the DOB paperwork suggests any kind of chain, like, say, a 7-Eleven. Of course, there are already two delis on the other side of 11th Street.

Meanwhile, down Avenue C a bit... at 27 Avenue C between Second Street and Third Street... another new deli is opening...


Again, the DOB permits don't show a chain-related store in the works. The DOB shows that the place is going by "Fresno Gourment Deli."


Previously, 27 Avenue C hosted the New York City Poker Tour.

    How can we be sure these aren't more Subways in disguise?

    We've already got two delis/bodegas on this block - not sure what this will bring to the neighborhood.

    I'll still go to Sheen Bros. on Charlie Parker Place.

    Methinks you cannot have too many delis on a block. The quality of their bacon, egg & cheese sandwich will vary wildly.

    better a deli than a bank, chain, or yuppie bar/rest.
    that said, if this becomes another 7-11, i will flip the f*ck out.
    we should look into what the upper west side is doing to prevent chain stores from destroying the fibre of their neighborhood - from what i understand they are very sucessful.
