According to several sources, the Five Seventy Market on Tremont Street is shuttered with flowers hanging from the door, and a post on the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page shows a Twitter post from reporter @FriasJ88 saying that the shop is closed because of the health of the owner, according to neighbors. The exact status of the market is not known at this point in time; as soon as we get more information, we will post an update here.
The Five Seventy Market offers groceries and produce along with sandwiches, breakfast items, coffee, and more.
The address for the Five Seventy Market is 570 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02118.
[March 15 update: Another Twitter post from @FriasJ88 states that Five Seventy Market owner Allen Seletsky has passed away.]
[July 22 update: The Boston Globe reports that Five Seventy Market remains shut down, and that Allen Seletsky's family wishes to lease it only to someone who will open another neighborhood market which is community-oriented.]
[March 21, 2017 update: There has been no word of late as to whether the family behind Five Seventy Market is still looking to lease the space to a new neighborhood market, but a new licensing board page now indicates that the license for the now-closed market is being canceled.]
