As we first reported on Jan. 6, East Village Farms is closing on Avenue A between Seventh Street and Sixth Street. Earlier today, workers were taking out still-wrapped flats of unopened food and merchandise. (The owners are moving to a store on 48th Street.)
The store closes for good Sunday. And today, as our friends at the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop note, the going-out-of-business signs are on the doors.
While the building's owners haven't commented on the plans for the space, the persistent rumor is a full demolition. There still aren't any permits on file with the DOB either.
And a reader just sent these along from the other night here...

*Sob*
they're moving "unopened foods" to their new location on 48th street? How telling. No tears shed here.
Bye Bye.
I think this sad but change is what the world is all about. We just move on.
