The reopening date of the Gristedes supermarket in Brooklyn Heights -- closed after an April 1 fire -- has been pushed back to the first week in July, according to employees working at the store Tuesday."We're going to do it right," one man told McBrooklyn. He said that everything in the store still smelled heavily of smoke and would have to be replaced.
After the fire, management hoped that the store, on Henry Street in the North Heights, would be back in business by the end of May. (A small, walled-off section containing the pharmacy has been reopened.)
Peas n' Pickles, the deli and produce market next door, has never been busier.

ReplyDeletemy point is that if one were to run for political office and got a senator to endorse oneself wouldn't you want to make this announcement in front of a school you helped teach in, a park you helped clean up or some affordable housing you made possible?

and my new other point is that you're an idiot too 3:13.

ReplyDeleteWhen I saw our senator outside of gristedes I really thought he was going to declare the area a disaster and request FEMA money.
ReplyDeleteSquadron missed his opportunity to talk about the enormous and rising cost of drugs (the legal kind) our seniors have to pay. oh well.
Hey --Lay off the Kid Squadron. At least he's trying you fools.
ReplyDeletethat Gristedes is so bad, if Squadron can keep it closed until november, he's got my vote
