After waiting months and months, Choice Market’s first offshoot is open.
The inside is fairly spacious (meaning lots of room to walk around, unlike the cozily cramped Choice Market). They’re selling lots of fresh stuff! Kinda reminded me of a (very) mini Fairway:
And my favorite section:
Lots of fresh herbs! Yay!
(Choice Greene is Located on Greene Ave at Grand Ave)
Kind of reminded me of a super-expensive fairway!
I thought the prices were reasonable. The cheese selection is tremendous, and priced similarly to other cheese specialty shops, the tuna, while pricey, looked amazing. The produce especially seemed reasonably priced. They have some kinks to work out – out of bread way too early in the day and they should really have a coffee bar — but I for one am thrilled to have it in the neighborhood and think it’s a great place.
For the quality, the prices aren’t bad. My husband and I went to the refurbished Pioneer yesterday for things like juice and milk and then to Choice Green for some veggies, bread and fish. We had the cod fish last night and it was excellent. I am thrilled to have them on my block. It fills a need in the neighborhood. Now if I want fresh herbs, shallots, or Ronnybrook yogurt, among other things, I don’t have to head into Ft. Greene. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Honestly, they nailed it. This place is gorgeous and reasonably priced for produce.
What are their operating hours?
I thought the prices were overall pretty reasonable as well. A small shop can’t compete with Fairway, but they aren’t gouging folks, either.
If anyone knows the owner I have his domain name I would like to sell him CHOICEGREENE.COM
hey FOR SALE, you are an asshole
More importantly, #7 FOR SALE is probably an illegal cybersquatter. Tell the owner that he can probably get FOR SALE booted off the domain name through a cheap arbitration.
y am i a asshole because i did his homework for him. Dont get mad at me for for buying his domain name oh by the way i also have CHOICEATLANTIC.COM AND SINCE IM AN ASSHOLE I ALSO GOT CHOICEDUMBO.COM
i’m thrilled to have choice greene in the neighborhood. i don’t think it is that pricey – it’s more reasonable than i anticipated. their pricing seems little odd. the other day, brussel sprouts were $1.85/lb at choice greene and $4/lb at the pioneer. the fish and flowers seem to be really high quality, some definitely costly (priced accordingly).
for sale – you’re missing the boat (not going to tell you why b/c i agree with goodtogobk)
You can’t tell me $7 for a loaf of pullman sandwich bread is reasonable. But their bread is very very good.
Seriously, does anyone know the operating hours? I went by on Saturday morning around 8:30am and it was closed. And I hope “For Sale” sits on those domain names forever because if they REALLY did their homework they would realize Choice Market has been open quite awhile, does incredible business, makes great products, but does not have a website and is lacking in the operations department…. so why would they change now when they are still packing customers in! Too funny…
why because were in the WEB-AGE
yes! I am dying to know their hours too. am hoping they are open tonight til at least 8pm… Also, thanks for reminding me, aifrench, that the refurbished Pioneer is open. How is it looking?
If they had a WEBSITE everyone would know their hrs and any specials they had for the day….ITS STILL FOR SALE
there open for now from 9am-8pm, but they said th evening hours will probably run later some time soon.
Hey genius, did you also get choice-market.com, choice_market.com, choicemarket.net, choicebrooklyn.com, and every other possible permutation of the words “choice” and “market?”
do they take c.c?
CB THANKS!!!! never thought about that now tell the owner ITS FOR SALE!!!
Well, boy genius, if you couldn’t think up those couple of really obvious names, I’m sure you can’t come up with the hundred of other really obvious names that Choice could use. And if you think cyber-squatting on domain names for a neighborhood bakery is the way to riches, well you really are a genius.
I must really be a genius i got your retarded self to respond to my posting and you dont even wash their walls JOCK RIDER
Hi all, Jock Rider here. I’m a little bit perturbed, it looks like someone on here has stolen my name. I’m considering cheap arbitration.
so is the domain name for sale or what? it wasn’t clear.
yes its for sale
I was looking for the hours too. TONY lists the hours as: Daily 10am–9pm.
