Everlasting Life is the greatest ever! They’re remodeling the place and I’m not sure they’re done, but it’s a wonderful example of a corner grocery, with healthful vegan choices. I run into it whenever I’m out of soymilk, herbs, spices, produce, etc. The bext part of Everlasting Life is the back deli: OMG delicious, vegan items are to be had! They have cold items like salads but hot foods like mac and cheese, collard greens, sweet potatoes, etc all w/o animal products! They have vegan soft serve too (peanut butter is wonderful)! Jeez, I sound like they pay me to say this stuff, but I’m completely unaffiliated, just in love!

I think they are affiliated with Soul Veg? speaking of. POP you should do a Post on Soul Veg. deliiiicious.

Anyone been in there lately? It’s been almost a year for me, but the last couple times I went in it the shelves were mostly empty and they pretty much had nothing we could use. Maybe that was due to renovations, so maybe it’s restocked now? I’ll check it out again if so. But that’s pretty fucked about the anti-gay literature. Maybe an old school street protest could help evolve their worldview.

I seem to have heard that they opened this story in the middle of the crack epidemic to bring some commercial stability to the neighborhood. It used to be an open air drug market there. And yes, the last time I went in the shelves were bare but the deli food was yummy.

their shelves are slowly but surly getting restocked…. great food in the back !! Try the shakes!

Ugh – I loved the place as a source for bulk foods, and the counter in the back is awesome. For $10, they’ll give you a platter that’s easily enough for two. I’ve been wondering when they’d finish remodeling to be back at full capacity. The whole anti-gay thing ruins it for me. But to be fair, it’s worth checking to make sure things haven’t changed since 2002. If they haven’t, then (thanks for the tip, Kyle), off to Yes!.

Side question: Any word on when the 14th St. Yes! is opening?
