  1. it's not essa-llent, but an average/good bodega deli.

    it's a narrowish bo/deli/cery. packed from floor to the top with food, odds-n-ends. it's got that bodega lighting which makes everything seem oddly out of focus (or maybe i need an eye exam…? idk. lol).

    packaged/processed food like chips, cookies, candy, sodas, juice, etc. dominate the aisles. there's a smallish deli counter in the back. i've actually never seen anyone get a sandwich here, but i've also never seen a deli person back there. however i've only come through here at night. there's obviously cigarettes, medicines, household goods, etc. behind the counter where the cashier is. there's also random stuff like incense etc.

    normally stop here for water, gum, etc. on my way to the gym, out drinking, etc.however it's the only bodega in my area that i've found nacho-flavored Bugles in the smaller bag size and Andy Capp's HOT FRIES (spiiiiiiicy!)! the junk food game here is REAAAAAL.

    the staff is fine–which is typically one dude. though i've never seen the same dude here twice. odd.

    if you're rumbling up or down Avenue C and need chips, gum, rehydration, etc for pre- or post-drinks, your needs will be met at this joint.

    drops mic bc Andy Capp fries are too hot to handle one-handed.
    zzz.
    i out.

  2. Your average convenience store, but the aisles are a bit bigger.

    Seems like this spot is new, and everything is pretty clean here.

    Your standard fare: chips, candy, pretty snacks. They also have iced coffee, fresh fruit (bananas) and some hot menu items.

    Open 24/7!
