Before Union Square became the
food destination it is today,
it was a food wasteland.
In 1990 when we were building the
original City Bakery on 17th Street,
there was next to nothing in terms
of neighborhood food stores.
Fifth Avenue Epicure was one of
two places on the avenue back then,
the other being the pizza shop next
door to them. This morning, "For Rent"
signs are in its window, and this
ever-evolving neighborhood evolves
a bit more [the pizza shop remains].
