Not a grocery store, not a corner convenience store, not a deli, not really a bodega as it is not…read moreSpanish owned & no red and yellow awning -- I do believe a new term needs to be devised as these terms are not interchangeable. A small narrow store that maks efficient use of its size as they all do. Selling bags of chips, cigarettes, soda, newspapers, lighters, beer - slightly concerning milk and eggs in the back by the ATM and of course -- Lotto, America's indirect way of taxing the poor. One longish counter with some inexacting language of grunts and groans coming from behind it with no humor nor good cheer nor pink or yellow lighters. (I buy them just in case & no guys opt for those two colors that I always look for. They had only black, blue and red) Not wanting to dwell, I was next in line after the fellow playing a significant run of memorized lotto numbers, birthdays and such I'd guess. Over paying for my Evian water with a CVS a stones throw away didn't thrill me to death, tucked my WSJ under my arm and off I went.

Sometimes they shout orders at the employees. More than once I've heard them telling each other dirty jokes right in front of the register. I'll be going to the newer place across the street til these unseemly types have found a new place to hang out.

I like their breakfast specials such as egg and cheese on a roll and it's up to you if you want to…read moreadd bacon or sausage and it comes with tea/coffee. And they sell other food behind the counter such as Boar's Head products and tuna salad on a roll and that comes with a free soda. They really are a "mini mart" aka mini supermarket because if you need items such as bathroom tissues, chips, tea bags, yogurt, etc., they'll have it. The people there are friendly and nice and some have been working for years. I can always count on them to be open because they're open for 24 hours.

Or if your like me, and crave an after party peanut butter and jelly sandwich with bananas..yuppp, those kind of munchies. The guys there are cool and friendly , even though some of them look restless and are in desperate need of sleep. Tell tale sign: bags under the eyes.

You know, when you are coming home mad late and anticipate eating a bowl of Special K cereal in the morning.
