“ L Grace's market has a reason to move to New York City all by itself. What a cool place. I just liked walking through and looking at all the food. They had everything. Amazing prepared foods? Fish, meat and much more. The bakery looks amazing. Definitely a cut above market. ”
“ Wow - Graces market place is such a welcome stop off when on the upper east side. Just west and south by a few blocks from Morton Williams - but so much here to enjoy. More of a semi gourmet market than a grocery. Because I saw olive oils, caviar and a cheese shop - nicer than local bakery area - it definitely was a few steps up from other local places. Happy tp be here and pick up some things. Now have a new appreciation for where Graces in Carle Place comes from. Same group and some similarities- like the fill your pwn olive oil dispenser - But no bottle - and didn't want one when saw it was Greek Olive oil - good but must be from Italy! Around the bend two shelves with various bottled olive oils - from Sicily and other premium olive oil regions. Love the slices of cakes snd kino and full sized cakes - could really have fun here. Almost like home - nice to be here. ”
“ I haven't been in a while but I have many photos of the delicious dishes by chef Joe At Graces. The counter top is one of the most underrated spots in the city. The quality of the food for the price is unbeatable. ”
“ Graces Marketplace is a family-owned gourmet retailer in the UES. They have been around since 1985 and when I used to live in UES I went there all the time. They have a wonderful selection of food including meats, seafood, and cheese. I ended up picking up some BBQ/Teriyaki Chicken Wings, Pasta Bolognese, and Grilled Artichokes. The flavors deliver especially those yummy wings! ”
“ Grace's Market has been in this location for Seven, YES Marianne, Seven years. Where have I been. I used to go to the old location on Third Avenue. I passed this location a while back and just returned today to go inside and get a real close look at everything. This market is absolutely beautiful and huge. They have everything you could possibly want. I got lost in here and wondered if I would need help finding my way out. Every employee I spoke to was so nice. They have many employees in the aisle stocking up. Everything about the store and the employees is professional, clean and neat. If I lived nearby I'd shop here all the time. It's a little to far to carry my groceries. When I need a special item or a treat I'll be sure to return. There's plenty of seating outside where I can enjoy a coffee and brunch. I'm looking forward to returning! ”
“ This place is place is honestly a little gem! Stopped by here for lunch last week and sat by the counter by the chef. I got their grilled artichoke salad, lamb chops, and panna cotta for dessert. The chef did an amazing job cooking the lamb to the perfect temperature (I got medium rare)--it was sooo flavorful, tender, and juicy. The panna cotta is made fresh on the spot and was so delicious. Their service was incredible and they were very sweet and accommodating. Thank you so much for the great experience! ”
“ I am OBSESSED with this marketplace! Who knew you could walk in and see over $1,000 worth of fresh truffles in an encasement! Their olive bar is beyond impressive and I'm all around extremely impressed. Got a jar of the marinated baby octopus from the olive bar as well as marinated peppers stuffed with prosciutto and provolone. Very impressed with the freshness and quality! If you're looking for an incredible variety of high quality Italian and Mediterranean fare -- come on into Grace's! ”
