The Gristedes closes on 86th and 1st. NY Upper East Side

It never was the greatest grocery store but I know it's been there for over 20 years and it was 24hrs. For me that meant I could shop alone at night, take my time and not get worried someone was taking my coveted chicken breast.  

It was zen. It was stress free.  And  the fuzzy sounds of light rock music oozed from the speakers on the ceiling above my head creating my personal yoga retreat.

It is with sadness( mainly for myself ) that this place is closing for good, just like FAO Swartz, like Carnegie  Deli and will  be knocked down so a real estate developer can shove more people into little cubes in the air and call it luxury living.
