As a Californian visiting NYC, trying a chopped cheese was high on our to-do list. My husband and I stopped by this bodega after seeing solid reviews on Google Maps.
The shop is super clean, and their deli menu is INSANE--like, how do they even make all that stuff? We went with a chopped cheese on a roll with everything and a chipotle chicken wrap to take to the airport before our flight.
Let me tell you, the chopped cheese was AMAZING--hands down one of the best things I ate the entire trip. The chipotle chicken wrap, on the other hand, was a bit of a mixed bag for me. It was stuffed with chicken (my husband loved that because he's all about the meat), but I wish there had been more avocado--it was kind of lacking in that department. There were peppers and onions mixed in, which added some nice flavor, but overall, it was super greasy, which isn't really my thing.
For two chopped cheeses, a wrap, and two small bags of chips, the total was just under $35. Such a steal compared to all the other foods we've had in NYC.
If you're in the area, I'd 100% recommend checking this place out--especially for the chopped cheese. read more
