Vine Wine, 12-09 Jackson Ave, LIC

“We here at Vine Wine like to pretend we are rock stars (occasionally), but opportunities to show that off are rare in a wine store. So this week’s tasting will take a nod from Radiohead & offer one of the bottles for the price of… whatever you want (yes, really). Taste some of my favorite new Italian wines & put your money where your mouth is. We only have one case of the buyer’s choice wine, so come early, and feel free to wear your rock star apparel.”

The Market at Long Island City, 5th St & 47th Rd, Queenswest, LIC

The Queenswest grocery store that’s been teasing us for over a year now is finally blossoming. Only it’s called The Market at Long Island City instead of the Amish Market - though operated by the same owners. I dunno, something about the Amish Market rolls off the tongue nicely… I feel like we’ll all still be calling it that anyway. Old habits die hard and you can’t teach old dogs new tricks. Right?

Also manifesting right next door is the Duane Reade. Need some proof?
