Save Met Foods from NYU's continued destruction of our neighborhood!

Met Food's is here but hard to see in the photo and the community needs this supermarket desperately.   Also be aware there are handicapped and senior citizens that have no other options in the area and rely on Met Foods.  The email below was sent to me...

SAVE OUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET

In a joint statement with Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, N.Y.U. President John Sexton committed the university to support “community sustainability,” including the preservation of local retail businesses. An associate vice president for planning was quoted as promising “eclectic uses” for N.Y.U.’s ground-floor properties — “not all banks and pharmacies.”

Yet, we are distressed to learn that the Met Foodmarket at 107-111 Second Ave. will be forced to close if its owners are unable to negotiate a satisfactory renewal of their lease with N.Y.U.

Please sign our petition to save Met Foods. Kindly forward this to all your
email lists.
