Grocery in Theatre District

I remember shopping in a Grocery store on the north east side of the street about two years ago, but I cant find it on Google Maps.  I thought it was on 8th Ave or 9th Ave between 44th and 50th.

Not a huge place -- but with a nice selection of beverages and fresh fruit.  I remember a few cash registers as you enter and another on the far left wall.

Any help to find it??

THANKS

You probably mean Food Emporium located on 8th Avenue between 49&50th

No idea, but you might try searching for Grocery in the Theater District on Yelp.

Yeah, has to be Food Emporium. But there's also The Westerly, which is my favorite in the area at 54th and 8th.

Could be Amish Market, 9th av, or Westerley, 8th av, or Stokes Greenmarket, 52nd, betw 9th/8th.   Food Emporium sucks, but it s on 10th/43rd.  There s also Red Apple on 40th/9th.   There s a new upmarket place now in the MiMa bldg, next to the Signature Theatre on 42nd nr Dyer av.

I am unfamiliar with the Food Emporium on 10th and 43rd but there is indeed a Food Emporium on the north east corner of 49th Street and 8th Avenue. I pass it every day

Did you enter through a revolving door and was there an escalator going down as you walked in?

Sounds like FOOD EMPORIUM.  It has a good mix of fresh produce and baked goods and prepared food...plus of course typical grocery stuff.  There is a place to have a fast meal with choices from their prepared food selections.

I don't remember an escalator -- I remember walking around to the right,and there being a row of cashiers and then one additional cashier on the left wall, about half way back.

 

THANKS to all for the help  --- my guess is that it was the mentioned Food Emporium. 

thanks again to all
