It's a Small Village Deli after all

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy

Signage arrived late last week at 76 Avenue B on the NW corner of Fifth Street... say hello to the Small Village Deli. (So many markets, so few solid names left.)

We went inside for an updated look at the interior, but the owner told us to leave.
Once open, the deli will sell a variety of sandwiches, wraps and smoothies.

No. 76 was last home to the art gallery gratin, which relocated to the Lower East Side. Previously, Oda House, which served Georgian cuisine and other Mediterranean staples, closed here in August 2020 after more than seven years in service. Caffe Buon Gusto was here for a bit after the corner market, Zips.
