Season's Supermarket Greetings

Photos by Stacie Joy 

While out and about this holiday season, EVG contributor Stacie Joy starting keeping tabs on the neighborhood's grocery stores (such as Associated on Avenue C above) to see how the markets were decorating for the season. 

Many places were on the bah-humbug-y side, perhaps with just a few cashier-area holiday tinsel-y ornaments. 

These were the groceries putting in the holiday décor effort, starting with Pioneer/Met Fresh on Avenue D between Eighth Street and Ninth Street ...
... Union Market on Houston and Avenue A...
... H-Mart on Third Avenue between Ninth Street and 10th Street ...
...New Yorkers Food Market on Second Avenue between Seventh Street and Sixth Street...
... Whole Foods Market® Bowery ...
... and the clear winner in the grocery holiday games — Key Food on Avenue A and Fourth Street,
Key was also the only shop with any Hanukkah signage and opting for the traditional Chanukah spelling...
Please note that Key closes at 10 p.m. on Christmas Eve (tomorrow) and will be closed all day on Christmas. So plan ahead. (Sidenote: We finally found where they stock the mustard now — aisle 1, which doesn't make sense, after the Great Key Reorganization. Stayed tuned for the next investigative series on mustard presentation.)

    I applaud the Chanukah spelling, but what the hell are those foods in that poster?!

    H-Mart did Halloween, too..."bloody" footprints on the floor. When I saw the first one, I thought someone had been in a broken-glass accident!
