Imagine this. You…read morediscover a brand new convenience store and drop in to get some beer, but quickly realize they don't have your favorite variety. You settle for your 2nd favorite brand but while you're checking out, you write the word "Yuengling" on an index card and hand it to the store owner. You tell him "Get this beer and you'll be seeing a lot of me." When you return 2 weeks later, none other than your favorite beer has made it's debut in the cooler. Wow! This is a true story, and it happened to my boyfriend. On top of customer satisfation, this place is very clean, newly renovated, always stocked, has "fresh" pastries, an ice cream freezer, Funyuns (I have not seen these anywhere else in NYC!), friendly service, and an ATM. What more could you ask for from a 36th Avenue grab-and-go? Nothing. Except for Christmas lights on their beer cooler, which they have too. ;)

It was the first C-store I walked into when I moved here and it is the only one that I have continuously returned to. The clerks are always friendly and always remember my face. They always have my pack of Camel lights waiting at the counter the second I walk in. They are very polite to my fiance and treat her with a lot of respect. If you live near 36th Ave and 29th St in Astoria/LIC, I highly recommend this store!

While coming into NYC, I had to stop by to the Walgreens right in the station to get cough drops. There is nothing more convenient than this and the line inside proves my point. I am always pleased when I am properly greeted when I walk through the door. I am especially happy when a clerk or cashier look up from what they are doing to acknowledge a customer walking through the door. This store, like other Walgreens is big and bright and very new with clean isles to navigate through. This incredibly delightful staff was over the top in greetings. Happy to see a customer. Happy to help a customer. Happy to speak with a customer. The item I needed was right on the checkout line... I never new cough drop were that type of impulse item, and there could be so many brands. Check out went very quickly and I received the same cordial greeting as I left as when I came in. The team member behind the counter just personified the model employee of engagement, spreading happiness and loving to be able to help. Kudos to a wonderful team here at Walgreens, Penn Station

Rest assured, when I become a bajillionaire from my winnings, I will not forget my Yelp friends. On the outside, you will notice a sign like that of many convenience stores in plain big letters spelling "Lotto Beer Soda Coffee" because obviously lotto, beer, soda, and coffee go so well together. This convenience store is no-nonsense like all convenience stores ought to be and the store keepers are quick. There is one particular store keeper here that always has a smile for you and even knows a bit of Spanish. On any given night, you will find three or four lonely Chinese bachelors standing around satiating their gambling addiction with scratch-offs, probably because they did not have the time or money to hop on the gamble bus to go to Foxwoods that night. And you never know, that next one or twenty-five scratch-offs could be your winning ticket to all your dreams come true. Many a nights I've walked into this store feeling like I've walked into a furnace. In my own head I've said to the store keepers many times, look, just because you're from India doesn't mean you have to keep the temperature in here like India. Well tonight I walked in and I was only slightly hot, and I heard a familiar friendly buzzing that signals relief in the summertime. It's an AC unit! They have an AC unit above the door! And it's on! Why in the Nine Hells do they not turn it on more often? Yes that was a rhetorical question - I know they're probably trying to save money in this craptastic economy.
