I thought for sure I had at least 1/2 bag of black-eyed peas in my cabinet, but no such luck. In their stead, I made 1/2 lb. of @rancho_gordo's yellow eye heirloom beans.

It was the food, the people, incense, general grunge. But it was the food that was so criminal. I was turned off whole wheat for decades. How can well intentioned people create such good music and bad food? NY folks will remember Angelica Kitchen restaurant in the East Village--I used to call that type of vegetarian cooking "brown rice and suffering". Was there a collective fear of herbs and spices? Did they learn nothing from all of those hippie trips to India? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their squid and some of the whole fish, if roughly handled, have been fairly reliable over the years, especially in that price range. I had fun with the random bonito Alex would haul in every once in a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MumonA Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Alex, the fisherman, is retiring. Line in Tribeca was 20 deep with wellwishers at 8:40. Picked up a whole striped bass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Evidently gonna continue selling to wholesalers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 That's too bad - they were my favorite. But after they left Union Square, I didn't see them much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their farewell note reads, in part: Quote After providing millions of meals, driving countless miles, and enduring many sleepless nights, it is time to retire from selling at the NYC Greenmarkets.
