Now called Morton Williams, the Grand Union supermarket, built to serve the tenants of NYU’s Silver Towers and Washington Square Village apartment buildings, was the closest place (except for the bodega on West Broadway and Prince) to buy groceries for most SoHo residents in the 1970s.  A free standing-building, it is quite a behemoth for New York City standards, though no competition with the suburban hypermarkets of today.
