"Tribeca's newest gourmet grocer, Meadow Lane, has everything one of its neighbors might desire: Dog treats made from dehydrated bone broth. Hanger-steak breakfast burritos on Caramelo tortillas. A smoothie bar with a pre-patinaed bronze menu. Pacifying interiors of light wood and chocolate-brown tile. Chicken tenders breaded with gluten-free panko and fried without seed oil. An entire room dedicated to artful floral arrangements. Hormone-free caviar from sturgeons who had, according to Meadow Lane's owner, "beautiful lives in the reservoirs.""
""No one wants this to open more than me," contends the store's founder, Sammy Nussdorf. Now - 430-plus days, several permitting snafus, and nearly 700 TikTok posts into this endeavor - he says he is mere weeks from unlocking the doors, having passed his Con Ed inspection and gotten the gas turned on. The 28-year-old has been posting through it all as @brokebackcontessa, amassing more than 126,000 followers documenting taste tests and the tribulations of opening a retail space in New York."
