Wednesday's parting shot

A forlorn look at the now-closed New Yorkers Foodmarket at 107 Second Ave. between Sixth Street and Seventh Street.

The grocery shut down at the end of 2023. Read more about that here

Thanks to longtime East Village resident Dana Della Valle for the photo.

Sad. I remember when this site was Ratner’s Restaurant. I could still see the white linen tablecloths on the round dining tables. It was quite elegant.

A major loss to the neighborhood. A supermarket existed in this space since the 60s.

I remember thinking years ago, that wont last, they proved me wrong but still dont know how they lasted so long.

One of the vestiges of Ratner's—don't know how many people noticed this—were the red-and-gold-leaf tiles in the vestibule.

I don't remember anything but a supermarket being here; does Tisch/NYU have plans to reclaim the space?
