St. Mark's Market is back open



St. Mark's Market reopened this morning at 21 St. Mark's Place.

The 24/7 grocery-deli between Second Avenue and Third Avenue had been dark since Sunday...



Several readers said that they had closed for good. However, the manager at the Market this morning explained to EVG correspondent Steven that there were several issues. It started when a resident on the building's third floor complained about a gas leak. The fire department came on Sunday and shut the store down. The FDNY said they were leaking freon gas. The store’s technician disputed that finding, claiming that their refrigerator tanks were full.

Another issue: The manager pointed to a hole in the ceiling where a leak started from a residence upstairs...





For now, the perishable items have been removed...





Despite the loss of business in recent days, the manager said that they plan to do a major renovation to "look like a Whole Foods."

    It appears that the local stash of Nutella, Nesquik and LaCroix is safe for now.
