Now at 51 University Place:
“The Hemp Philosophy was founded in New York City by Jack Scaba. Like many of our customers, his team came across hemp while looking for alternative solutions to ailments. What they found was a need for quality hemp that was more accessible. Thus, The Hemp Philosophy was born. Since then, this philosophy has defined the new standard for premium quality hemp products.”
It’s a bit of a hike, but the new Wegman’s supermarket at Astor Place is worth a visit because it is so huge and so suburban. Prices are competitive across the board, and the variety of items beats any other store in the area. The sad and tired Gristedes on University Place should be worried.
From the press release:
Soon New Yorkers, known for their culinary palettes, will be able to enjoy the taste of Nutella® in a variety of unique dishes tailored especially for them. Ferrero, a global confectionery company and the maker of Nutella® The Original Hazelnut Spread®, today announced it will be opening a Nutella Cafe at 13th Street and University Place, near Union Square, by the end of the year. Nutella Cafe New York will feature a Nutella-inspired cafe menu and specialty espresso beverages. The first Nutella Cafe opened on May 31, 2017 in Chicago.
“There truly is nothing like the taste of Nutella® hazelnut spread, and with the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Nutella Cafe Chicago, we know our fans feel the same way. It’s their excitement that propelled us to open another Nutella Cafe and continue to showcase the uniqueness and versatility of this beloved product,” said Rick Fossali, vice president of operations, Nutella Cafe.
“Nutella is global power brand and the popularity of the spread is built on Ferrero’s uncompromising focus on quality ingredients. As a multicultural epi-center, New York gives us the opportunity to explore and offer new ways for our local fans to enjoy Nutella, while reaching millions of tourists visiting the city,” added Fossali.

Here’s the menu for the upcoming Vapiano, which is quickly taking shape on the corner of University and 13th. Think Italian.
How annoying. The New School construction site seems to be getting its daily dumpster deliveries at 4:15AM. So noisy. Good morning!
