[Updated] Another deli/market looks to be replacing Poppy's on 12th and A



In the shadows of Steiner East Village, the renovations continue at the former Poppy's Gourmet Corner on Avenue A and 12th Street.

There are detailed plans on the plywood... helpfully pointing out where the various items will be inside the incoming deli/market...



Among other things, the plans show a counter, a back counter, coffee, ice cream, a fryer, grill and juice bar.

And now, courtesy of EVG regular Greg Masters, an exclusive look at the market's new refrigeration units...







Poppy's closed at the end of January. Owner Mike Attal told Poppy's regular Shawn Chittle that a rent increase made it too challenging (Kushnered) to stay in business.

Updated 8/2

The coming-soon sign is now up for NY Grill & Deli...

Jared Kushner making the East Village GREAT again !!
Cigarettes, lottery tickets, beer, candy.
The staples that make America strong and healthy !!
Dare I say will they allow a non-Christian immigrant to run it?
Put it in direct competition to their 7/11 across the road
