Sign goes up at Take 5 Urban Market

Posted by Dale on February 15th, 2009

The sign is up out front and they’re stocking the shelves and the deli case inside Take 5 Urban Market, located at the corner of 8th Ave. and 70th St.

We wrote a week ago about the new market, which replaces the Wicker Basket. One new detail: it’ll also have espresso made from Phinney Ridge’s Herkimer Coffee beans, which will arguably make it the best place to get a hot caffeinated beverage on 8th Avenue.

Nice place to go with great homemade food. Talked to the owners and they are going out of their way to provide good prepared in store food. Bryan Vietmeier is the chef that is on duty 4 days a week 10 hour days busy working behind the counter to provide restaurant quality food at an affordable price for take out or eat in. There is a dinner special every night and they usually have a sign out front on the window telling the neighborhood what is on the menu for the evening. They always have homemade macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, quiche (meat as well as vegetarian) and the desserts are familiar favorites New York Cheesecake, apple crisp, and carrot cake, as well as homemade oatmeal, choc chip, and peanut butter cookies. They also have a great selection of local wines, beers, fruit and vegetables.

The proprietor of my neighborhood small market tells me he would not survive without sales of cigarettes and cheap beer and I live in a much denser population area with higher foot traffic than exists at 70th and 8th.

Just had a sandwich there and will second M on everything.
It's obviously a soft launch as not all the shelves are stocked yet, but if there is something you want to see sold there, they're open to hearing it.
The prices are pretty reasonable too.

We went in this afternoon, and there is a lot of fresh produce. Sandwiches, soup, and coffee are also available. We had the hot veggie sandwich, and it was delicious! In addition, they have wines and beers and some basic staple items such as dairy and eggs. They were super nice! They are really looking for suggestions from customers and will evolve accordingly.

They are having a "soft opening" this morning

The owners are a really nice couple talked to them
