On 13th and A, corner markets come and go

On the SW corner of 13th Street and Avenue A, Essentials Marketplace seemingly came out of nowhere and is now up and running... offering the usual corner-market fare (beverages! snacks! candy!). 

Meanwhile, on the SE corner... you will have one less place to purchase bongs or exotic flavors of Doritos...
Law enforcement officials have sealed up ZEE Convenience & More...apparently, it was zee unlicensed sale of cannabis products here that got the business into trouble...
ZEE debuted in October 2022. Previously, Caffè Bene closed here in December 2021 after nearly six years in business.

  1. The biz ran into conflict with neighbors when they installed outdoor speakers to play music and attract customers. Didn't work.
