Remembering Nyack
To e Nyack Villager—
I so much enjoyed Jim leiner's article on
Nyack's greatest fire. As a young boy growing
up in the 1940s, that area was our playground;
we called it the “bricks.” After it was cleared, I
remember the firemen held carnivals on that
site.
I so much enjoy reading your magazine and
remembering "good ole Nyack"
—Doug Williams, Whiting, NJ
What happened to ..
What happened to the new Chef's Market
across from the YMCA which took years to
open? It now appears to be permanently
closed.
—Steven Smythe
{Editor’s note—In September, Jeff Sapounas, the
owner of Chef’s Market, was quoted as saying
the closure was to be temporary. In late October.
however, with no signs of life at the site and
unanswered phones, we checked with Kathy, in
the Nyack Buidling Dept. She said, sadly, Chef’s
Market was closed permanently. We will miss it.
