Avenue A Classic Food now open on … Avenue A

Rays's has some company (and competition in some respects) next door with the arrival this week of Avenue A Classic Food, your basic deli … wraps, smoothies, fresh juice… and bacon. The front door was open yesterday morning, and we could smell the bacon, so to speak, across Avenue A…

The address is 115 Avenue A between East Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.

Avenue A Classic Food opening soon on — surprise! — Avenue A

Looks like Ray will have a little food company next door on Avenue A.

The awning is up for the new business taking over half of the former Alphabets space at 115 Avenue A — Avenue A Classic Food.

As you can see, the deli near East Seventh Street will sell wraps, smoothies, fresh juice, etc. We don't know much else about the new place at the moment.
