The fruit vendor of 1st Avenue (and 6th Street) is back

Another sign of spring: the fruit-and-vegetable stand with proprietor Masud returned yesterday on the SE corner of First Avenue and Sixth Street... after a late-December departure

Here's to your 3-for-$5 pints of blueberries

I was wondering where he was. Good news!!!

Unfortunately, he has a lot more competition now with the new Metro Acres Market on 5th and 1st which has a good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables at decent prices.

Their prices aren’t that good and their fruit / veg stand sits directly against their garbage dumpster. The stand man is also much friendlier.

Metro Acres is indeed cheaper for certain things. They have really great avocados @ 5 for $4. that is hard to beat. But i love this guy too. I dont go anymore because i assume he only takes cash, which i no longer carry. Does he accept apple pay?
