The name says it all. As an "everything" store in Tribeca, it has almost everything that one needs including chips, cookie dough, hair products, plates, shot glasses, ice cream and candy. The products here are also not expensive, comparable, if not cheaper than what Duane Reade offers. This place is especially convenient because it is open the latest out of all the other convenient stores around (open until 11pm!! It is almost unheard of in Tribeca).
Whenever I am in need of something and it is past 7pm on the weekends, this is my go-to store. I need plastic cups, there it is. I need aluminum foil, there it is. I need a jar of pickles, there it is!
This place had jewelry cleaner when Duane Reade didn't. Phew. I really needed to make my engagement ring more sparkly before showing more friends!
I go here to get greek yogurt because it is less expensive than DR or other area stores.
The staff is really nice and the guy went to great lengths to find me that jewelry cleaner.
I didn't realize, before actually going in, that this place sells so many groceries. From the outside it looks like a BB&B wanna be store.
Just as the sun is setting on my life in the area, I find this super convenient and resourceful store. It's like a small Walmart or Target (which are places I try to avoid). It doesn't have everything but it does have lots of things that are caught in the "do loop" of "not a grocery, dry or hardware" store. It's big but not too big.
It has groceries, beer, household supplies, pharmacy , personal care and souvenirs. For example, today I needed a plastic container of a certain size. My synapses were sending up to the Container Store on the subway. There's a great hardware store nearby but they wouldn't have my item. It was here.
