lucas fine foods OPEN on union and 7th avenue -

oooh....excellent....can't wait to check them out!

I just went in earlier. The food looks tasty, but there doesn't seem to be very much of it..... I was expecting more of a market (a la Union Market on a smaller scale), but maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the articles or maybe there is more coming later........They have a few display cases with food, sandwiches and a few drinks...prices seemed very reasonable, but the overall look inside was very sparse.

They also had a few ice creams - including a bacon one that I want to go back and try

Visited yesterday. They seem to have done their homework, it does not overlaps with what is available at Blue Apron and it is way better than what is found at the prepared foods counter at Union Market.

The sparse feeling may be part of it. It does not look as a foolish let's-try-it operation, but rather as a well planed, careful endeavor. I bet they will add more items as time and experience increase.

The ice cream is fantastic. Salad was really good and the sandwiches excellent. Sweet service, plenty of care. I will definitely go back. I hope others also do and Lucas Fine Foods prospers.

I went in and didn't see much at all. Plus, the a/c wasn't running. Not a good first impression. However, I intend to drop in over the next few months as per teething period.
