Terra Market Owner:  unknown Opened:  unknown Cooperative:  none Location:  533 9th Ave, Manhattan, NY Photographed:  August 2018 Highly observant readers will notice that, in fact, this store is only two doors down from the Big Apple Meat Market which we saw earlier today! This one appears to be smaller and produce focused, while Big Apple is meat, dairy, and frozen. (They do, however, sell produce, and both stores sell groceries.)

Big Apple Meat Market Owner:  Peter Castellana III / Cactus Holdings Opened:  1992, 2013 in current location Cooperative:  none Location:  529 9th Ave, Manhattan, NY Photographed:  August 2018 Owned by the same folks who own the Western Beef chain, the Big Apple Meat Market in the Garment District is the type of quirky small business that seems to be rapidly disappearing. The New York Times, in fact, did a feature on the store before it moved to its present location. I would definitely check out that article for a really interesting look into this business! Other note - we're doubling up today, so we'll be seeing another store today at noon here on The Independent Edition!
