Gratia+Market

The Gratia Market is located at 84-31 Jamaica Avenue between 85th Street and Forest Parkway. In Latin, Gratia means "favor" -- in Spanish it means "faith" or "grace." The owners appear to be Oriental, though -- so your guess is as good as mine as to the meaning of the name.



This was also a Fruit Market back in the 1970s as this advertisement from a P.S. 60 Annual from 1975 can attest to. Back then this location was the home of Supreme Fruit Market.
