Z is for

Zingone's--a greengrocer (and more) in my neighborhood.***

The photos tell the story--Fruits, veggies and groceries



since 1927.



An old-world grocery. It's the sort of store where people have accounts. And orders are called in and delivered. A small-scale, low-tech Fresh Direct.

But not really.

The second story in the Metropolitan Diary tells all you need to know about Zingone's. And this blogger says it better than me what Zingone's means to the neighborhood.

Nearly all of our Christmas trees have come from Zingone.



Thanks, Mr. Zingone!
