Ouri's Market
1160 THIRD AVENUE
NEW YORK CITY

CLOSED SATURDAYS
Ouri's Market, a gourmet kosher
supermarket with one location in New
Jersey and another in Brooklyn, has
opened a third store on Manhattan's
Upper East Side.
The family-owned retailer is known
for its high-end specialty food offerings,
its service meat and seafood departments,
and an expansive selection of prepared
foods. The new, 8,000-square-foot
store at 68th Street and Third Avenue
features upscale finishes such as marble
countertops and copper- and gold-
plated fixtures. It is a block away from
Grace's Market, a longstanding fixture
in Manhattan's grocery scene, and not
far from gourmet markets Citarella and
Zabar's.
Ouri's Market founder Ouri Galili
first began operating a produce store
called Ouri's Fruit in Brooklyn in 1976,
and eventually expanded into organic
farming through partnerships with
growers in the Dominican Republic, and
with a juice business called Juice from the
Raw that specializes in juice cleanses.
"Where our competitors are after
your wallet, we are after your health
and want to provide you with the best
quality juices for a reasonable price," the
company notes on its website.
The company is now run by Ouri
Galili's five children. A spokesperson for
Ouri's could not be reached for comment.
During a recent visit to the new store
on a weekday afternoon, Ouri's Market
was bustling with shoppers perusing an
expansive selection of mainstream and
specialty produce items, freezer cases
showcasing kosher meats and other
Jewish specialties such as gefilte fish, and
a bakery display featuring several varieties
of fresh-baked challah and an assortment
of kosher baked goods from local brands
including Emily Massry, Grandma
Sallie's, The Rebbe's Choice, Desserts by
Rachelly, Bed-Sty Bake Shop, and Sheri's
Babycakes.
The store also includes a coffee
station and fresh bakery counter featuring
bagels and other store-baked goods.
Crackers and kichel—a lightly
sweetened Jewish cracker or cookie—
are also on display, including varieties
from Belgium's Best and Crack'n Up.
Prepared kosher appetizers include items
from Mazza by Marlene and Mazza by
Stephanie Esses, along with Ouri's own
items.
The service seafood department
includes a kosher sushi selection, and
the service meat area includes a range
of gourmet beef and lamb cuts and an
on-site dry-aging meat locker. Alongside
the meat counter, packaged dried meats
include several varieties of uncured
kosher beef sausage from Bronx-based
Abeles & Heymann.
Ouri's own brand appears on a
variety of items, including fresh bottled
juices, refrigerated salads, sandwiches,
dips, and other prepared foods, and a
