He-e-e-y Joe? Where you goin’ with that market you planned?

New reports have said that a Trader Joe’s, a sort of granola-crowd Whole Foods Market, is planning to sign a lease on the big commercial space in New York University’s Palladium residence hall on 14th St. between Third and Fourth Aves. However, John Beckman, a university spokesperson, said, “At this juncture, we don’t have any comment. There have been press accounts — but what I said to them is what I’m saying to you.”
