Greene Grape Provisions: Just Us, or a Bait and Switch with Pricing
July 9, 2008When Greene Grape Provisions opened, I remember thinking how nicely priced everything was, overall. But each time I go, it seems less reasonable. No joke, they tried to charge me over $3 for one plum recently, and $4 for a baguette.

Thanks.

Bookstore for Clinton Hill?
January 30, 2008I hope Clinton Hill gets its rumored bookstore, and I hope that the eventual location is in close proximity to Fort Greene. I know that conventional wisdom says indie bookstores can’t make it anymore, but I also know a large number of people in the neighborhood who would help this new store prove that theory wrong.
