Back in February,
signs first appeared for something called New York Healthy Choice on Avenue C at East 11th Street ... Chico created murals
for the gates in July ... we haven't seen much activity here of late (granted, this isn't an intersection we cross with great frequency... and, like the other businesses along here, the basement was flooded during the Sandy surge...)
Exchanged emails with EVG reader Rob yesterday... who's also curious about what New York Healthy Choice will be — A deli? A mini Whole Foods? A place to buy a box of Annie's Mac & Cheese?
All the above?
Per Rob's photo, the proprietors have rolled out these vegetable-vegetable stands.
As Rob said: "Looks promising."

The owner of this is the same person/people who own Yankee Deli and the incoming Yankee Pizza across the street.
I spoke with a couple of people at Yankee Deli a few months ago about it and it is essentially going to be a fancier grocery store for the neighborhood with a - their words - "HUUUGEEE butcher counter". So, yay!, good meat.
Was only a week or so from opening at the time of Sandy, but obviously that timeline had to be changed.
I live right around the corner and have been wondering about this place since at least the murals went up. That sounds very promising, can't wait! Maybe they'll even have some decent fish...something we so desperately need in the Alphabet!
as a northeasterner, i take offense to the superfluous use of the word yankee in recent signange!
Hmm... Not a fan of Yankee Deli because every time I go in their I leave smelling like bacon. And they always have the TV blaring.
I prefer Sheen Bros. on 10th & B or Santa Barbera Superette on 12th and B. But the new place definitely sounds handy.
Is C-Town still open?
Hi James. I believe C-Town is still doing repairs post Sandy. Damages were around $1.5 million.
