We've been fielding several reports on the awesomeness of the new organic market that is finally open on the corner of 4th Ave and President Street. It's called Ivy Garden, and according to FIPS reader Amy, it's pretty darn mind blowing:

"Got off the train tonight at 10:30 and all of us Union St R-ers were freaking out: Ivy Garden, that new supermarket on the corner of President and 4th  is open. And it's beautiful. I want to kiss it on the mouth.

I walked in there with my huge, heavy Whole Foods bags and surveyed the place: $2 for a bag of organic baby carrots. Gelato. Bakery. Deli counter. Frozen yogurt machine (not Culture, but hey). Fancy olives. Diet ice cream. Beets. A HUGE VARIETY of mushrooms. I mean, come on. What did I do to deserve this?

It reminds me of Millenium Market in Williamsburg. But way better. Better selection, better prices. The owners were all "see you soon!" when I bought my baby carrots and mushrooms ($4.67) and I was all OHYOU'LLBESEEINGMEREAAAALSOON."

Someone else wrote in to say that they were thrilled cause Ivy has loads of gluten-free shit.

Anyone else checked it out yet? Report in.
