About a year after opening the Fig Tree Market on Myrtle and Walworth has closed. This nice little market was doing well until Chestnut Market opened up a block away. Chestnut Market arrived all shiny and new with a much larger selection than Fig Tree’s. [...]

D’oh!

Posted on December 21, 2010 by The Changeling

I’m kicking myself for not posting about this place before Brownstoner. Dough, located on the corner of Lafayette and Franklin, is a new doughnut shop from the folks behind Choice Market.
