Reply to comment by sleaziep in The new Lexington Market is so disappointing by sleaziep
>no fresh veggies / fish, meat and poultry
Bro can you read? There are literally two fresh seafood merchants (Faidley's, Cho's Sea Garden), two butchers (Buffalo Bill's II, Brookdale Farms Poultry) and a place called Garden Produce that sells fruit and vegetables. I feel like I am going crazy, or else you are a troll.

I am going to go there soon and write about my experience there. I was there a few months ago and it said that various vendors were coming at that time.
Healthy Choice was once at Lexington Market but they ended up closing up. Ironically enough, there food was anything but healthy but it was delicious and inexpensive. Like a full container of food that was enough for at least two meals was about $10.00.
There were several vendors that had fried chicken. I will agree that that was over kill. But I loved the places that had the turkey wings and turkey legs as well.
It's not just about having food there it's having it available at a price point that is affordable to someone that's been going to Lexington Market for years.
That's what I think people are missing in this subreddit and it's really annoying to see how people are instead of being empathetic that others simply don't have the economic resources that they do. You may not want to eat certain foods, but what about folks that do?

Park's moved across the street, but they desperately need a second or third place fried chicken inside Lexington because Super Fried Chicken was slammed this Saturday when I went. Plus all I want is too many fried gizzards covered in hot sauce and I am not sitting in line for 20 minutes to give someone $6 so my wife can look on with disgust while I shovel bird organs into my mouth. That said Krause's is still there and the turkey is still delicious. It's tough, I had a lot of good times in old Lexington and I'll miss it, but shit changes, it seems even faster the older I get. I don't know, I just hope the new market is able to be successful. I'd maybe wait until some more vendors are in there, there is still quite a bit of construction.

Hahah the bread pudding at Healthy Choice was the best! RIP.

Oh my goodness! Yes it was! I'm glad I was able to eat there with my mom before it was gone.

Also two delis—Krause's Lite Fare (legacy stall) and royal Deli (new).

You're so weird. There used to be over 80 vendors, live music, and all the things that I listed. I go there today, there are 30 vendors and none of my old favorites (except for faidleys). There's no live music. There's nowhere to sit and hang out. The vibe is totally different and there's a bunch of high end prepared foods. However, I'm the one that is incorrect because I didn't look at a website with a thumbnail and a promise that some high-end butcher is allegedly coming at some point in the future. I was disappointed. You can't show me some thumbnail on some website and make an argument that I should be satisfied.

You have been caught lying and insulting me twice now. Why should I believe or care about anything you say? You are seriously a piece of shit.

You really need to chill out! Cursing at someone for having a different opinion than you is completely uncalled for.

I'm sorry but your comment is completely uncalled for. I responded twice to OP in a civil manner and they insulted me both times and lied about their own experience in order to exaggerate their point for some reason. I don't have to just take that. OP has like 100 downvotes while I have upvotes, it seems like my comment was completely called for.
CaptainObvious110 t1_j7h1ls5 wrote
Exactly. The people that downvoted you didn't even contribute to the conversation by sharing their thoughts.
How many of those folks have ever even been to the old Lexington Market or grew up going there?
sleaziep OP t1_j7j90su wrote
Hey I didn't want to say it because apparently I'm a lying asshole for sharing my impressions, but there sure is a lot more website reading going on than actual reports from folks that have been to the new lex. As a matter of fact, when I scroll down the comments, it looks like most of the people that say they actually visited have lukewarm reviews at best. So strange. But what do I know, I'm just a piece of shit who doesn't read websites before forming an opinion about my personal experience.

Yeah I hear you. Don't let it get to you as some people really don't know what they are talking about and it really shows.
If we could have comments from some lifelong Baltimore residents to give this place some real variety

It's whatever. I think we all saw this coming from a mile away. Thanks captain.
