Elmwood Market Opens
While I was at the market I picked up a copy of their menu… yes, their menu. I knew that they were going to have a deli… but I did not realize that there would be so many fresh hot and cold subs served on toasted Costanzo's Bakery rolls. I also didn’t realize that there would be a selection of burgers, wraps, salads and sandwiches. The extensive menu even includes a Friday fish fry. Just take a look at the side orders… fries alone – fries, spicy curly fries, cheese fries, chili fries, cheese fries with bacon. And there are twelve different salads – both healthy and not-so-healthy. If I didn’t know better I would think that there was a full-fledged restaurant located inside. It also doesn’t hurt that there is a coffee bar, and breakfast sandwiches are served throughout the day. I would imagine that the Elmwood Market will be a busy stop for workers on their way downtown in the morning.
Unfortunately I could not stick around and purchase anything to eat since I was already running late for dinner. I did eventually discover that the person who was making dinner had already been shopping at the Elmwood Market earlier in the day.

My Favorite Buildings
Here's a rerun of a post Steel did two and a half years ago. A building with an already rich history back then, it has even more of a story to tell now. Fortunately, due to the hard work and foresight of a group of neighbors, preservationists, a great lawyer and a developer with the wherewithal and vision to turn an imminent demolition around, one of Steel's favorite buildings has a future too.
This marvelous edifice is on Jersey Street just west of Richmond. It is on a great … - Today, 12:31am

I stopped in around 6:30. Got some cold cuts. They were doing a nice brisk business. Cheers to them. Its clean, bright, friendly. Now just keep it up and you'll have customers as long as their open. Don't fall victim to the lottery and panhandlers.

Look, I understand you're hyper-local and all, but why is there often several articles on a new business; with weeks of "It's coming" articles?

Because I'm interested in seeing the progress and feel that people who will support these types of businesses keep up with the status. We get emails all the time from people asking us 'when' and how is it coming along. To me these are not just one-shot stories, they are ongoing stories. A lot of our readers don't live in Buffalo and have no idea how something is progressing. Like any other form of media, skip it if you're not interested and read it if you are interested. I think that these small businesses need all the coverage that they can get. And they appreciate the support from the people who witnessed the progress up to and after the opening. To me a new market on Elmwood is big news. So is a clothing store downtown. Or a beer merchant. I enjoy covering different aspects of the opening stages. Some people might like that, others might not.

Stopped in myself, it was a real treat to stop in a clean, well managed deli in Allentown. They have a regular customer in me...Good Luck!

I was there yesterday as well. It was very nice, and I surely will continue to go there for many staples. One thing I did notice was the lack of any locally produced spaghetti sauces. I dunno maybe it is just me but i stopped buying ragu or prego about 5 years ago especially when there are about 4 brands with usually 3 -4 styles each of local sauces to choose from.

This place looks great, and it puts Wilson Farms to shame. Now, I have heard The Farm maybe renovating some of its stores. I hope they bull-doze the two on Elmwood and start over again with more appropriate building (up to the sidewalk and parking on the side or in back). Congratulations to The Elmwood Market for a great looking build-out.

Seriously?
I thought that everyone pretty much agreed that parking in the back/side would be a horrible idea.
That WF is fine the way it is, it's not a catholic church it's a convienence store!!!!!

I hope this place lasts forever, however, this bashing of Wilson Farms is getting old. How many stores/markets have come and gone over the years while Wilson Farms has remained? I for one LOVE having a Wilson Farms in my neighborhood. They are a company or at least owned by a company with investors who enjoy profits and return on investment. Just as the owners/investors in the Elmwood Market would like a return on their dime, so too do the owners/investors of WIlson Farms or the parent company. Of course I would love a better looking Wilson Farms but I much prefer a stable business that provides the neighborhood with what it needs. Okay, I'm rambling...GOOD LUCK Elmwood Market!
