2007-12-11 00:26:25 I noticed a sign on the windows that said something else was moving in. Forgot what it was, Something Market, or something along those lines. —JohnJoseph
2007-12-11 07:33:50 I think it's called Mise en Place market, which in French is typically used to indicate 'everything in place' or 'bottled here' if you see it on a wine bottle. The more literal translation is 'put in place'. In cooking, it refers to having all you ingredients and utensils ready to go before cooking, so maybe it'll be another of those shops where you pick up partially prepared meals and bring them home to finish cooking them. —RachelBlumenthal
2007-12-11 08:49:14 According to the lady I spoke to last week, who happens to works in the coffee shop next door (coffee connection?), she told me it's supposed to be a deli.
I'm hard pressed to understand why a deli could not thrive in the south wedge; Wilson Farms by so. clinton and No. Goodman seems to be thriving.
The Greengrocer was a noble effort, but obviously not what the neighborhood wanted. —MrPhil
2007-12-11 08:53:02 Seems like a nice spot for a deli! It's a pretty large space, too. Any idea when they're opening? —RachelBlumenthal
2007-12-11 08:57:12 Rachel,
Lady behind the counter didn't know. It is a perfect spot for a deli. That corner of the south wedge is shaping up nicely as a village unto itself. —MrPhil
2007-12-11 13:48:27 "Mise en place" is also used in France (and now internationally) to describe how a table is prepared for a meal (cloths, dishes, silveware, glassware, ornaments, ...): "Sirio Maccioni's Le Cirque in NYC sports a luxurious mise en place" or how a dish is prepared and presented for a customer: "The mise en place of my Filet mignon a la Rossini resembled a Pollock painting." —AndreaCogliati
