479603 Tue Jan 15 10:31:46 -0800 2008 12 18 Manhattan 0 3297568 I have heard an unsubstantiated rumor that Whole Foods will be coming into the vacant retail space located at the corner of Wall and Broad. Has anyone heard this as well and able to substantiate the rumor? /lg Tue Jan 15 10:31:46 -0800 2008 157682 Lance Goler 1 3298267 doubt it considering they're opening on greenwich/warren Tue Jan 15 13:19:49 -0800 2008 3297568 12695 harrison 2 3298311 Opening in Spring 2008 coinciding with the 101 Warren Street official building opening per the Lower Manhattan Review & Outlook dated October 27- November 2, 2007. Tue Jan 15 13:28:04 -0800 2008 3298267 73159 financialdistrictresident 3 3298579 I would LOVE to have both Whole Foods and Amsterdam Public open for FiDi people. We surely need some good grocery stores and markets! Tue Jan 15 14:28:42 -0800 2008 3298311 54254 kobetobiko 4 3298746 It will be nice to have a Whole Foods closer than E. Houston or Union Square. I don't do very much food shopping in my neighborhood, there are so many better options elsewhere and I'm right by Chinatown. What's Amsterdam Public? Tue Jan 15 15:08:39 -0800 2008 3298579 73159 financialdistrictresident 5 3301305 Hi FDR, Amsterdam Public is the indoor market place that they are proposing to open in the old Fulton Fish Market building. They did a trial run (outdoor though) in December for one day, with vendors like Flying Pigs, Saxelby Cheesemongers, Wild Edibles, etc. Mario Batali was there! I think they are trying to create some sort of a Borough Market environment. While I don't think it will ever be that good, any kind of indoor market (or outdoor for that matter) will be a great addition in FiDi!

I planned on going, but woke up with the flu that day! Curious as to how the test run went....

Hungry girl, I couldn't make it either but I read a thread on this Board all about it. If you do a search of this Board you can read the thread and you'll feel like you were there . . Wed Jan 16 16:35:52 -0800 2008 3301871 73159 financialdistrictresident 1 3298472 I was told by a realtor who works in FiDi/ Battery Park that they were opening on around the Battery Park promenade area sometime next year. Not sure if that's true, just what he told me. Tue Jan 15 14:01:30 -0800 2008 3297568 133413 offthebeatenpath1 1 3302149 are you talking about the building across the street from federal hall -- the old JP morgan building? is that vacant? i always thought it was part of the building next door. even though the neighborhood is much more diverse now, i think it would still be a strange spot for a whole foods. Wed Jan 16 13:53:14 -0800 2008 3297568 152700 Renguin 2 3302200 Honestly, I don't know the area that well. I was a spot literally on the water and I am pretty sure he called it the Promenade. It was literally on the water. Wed Jan 16 14:04:15 -0800 2008 3302149 133413 offthebeatenpath1 3 3302415 I was talking about the building that is adjacent to 15 Broad Street, on the corner of Broad and Wall. I've heard the rumor from several people, but I agree that it would be odd given the Warren opening this Spring.
