The three guys working here are consistently friendly and patient, even as they punch in numbers on the NYS Lottery machine while customers hold up bottles and candy bars asking "How much?" They seem to have as many items here as a full sized convenience store. They service Hunter College students, New York Hospital workers waiting at the bus stop and kids going to the Park East Synagogue School. It's next to the 6 Train subway exit. NYC newsstands don't get any better than this one. It's an interesting block as well, with at least two fruit/vegetable vendors, four Halal food carts (incongruously located outside an orthodox synagogue) and deep ruts in the blacktop roadway caused by the busses. The street by the bus stop undulates. They really should use concrete pavement at the bus stop. If you're reading this, you do realize I have time on my hands, and the newspaper headlines are too depressing to read. I'd rather acknowledge a well run and well merchandised newsstand. read more
