What a cool market and was only 2 blocks from the hotel. For those of us in the San Francisco Bay…read moreArea this place is best described as if 99 Ranch and Piazza's Fine Foods had a baby (For those West Coast impaired, Asian food store meets a Whole Foods). Tons of Asian good from a whole row of frozen Bao to even durian items. In addition to the usual stuff you would find at a high end market. Endless selection of craft brews, produce, dairy etc. They did have a deli and bakery which I did not sample. It is a large but narrow store as many have noted and after 4PM its one door in and out only so it gets a bit crowded.

I stopped into this location recently before a day by the pool, and was so excited by the huge snack selection. I originally went in for a popular frozen banana treat I saw online, but left with bags of Korean chips, unique ramen, candy I grew up eating, and snacks galore. My pool day was better for it and had me contemplating a move to LIC.

This was a really delicious chopped sandwich. All I did was heat it a little bit when I got home.read more

The homemade agua fresca (lime cucumber) was refreshingly delicious and their homemade guacamole was delicious too! I didn't opt for their homemade chips, wish I did. All in all, a quintessentially New York place that I hope lives forever. Yes I did buy myself a bottle of salsa verde to bring home at the same time while waiting for my food. Places like this are the beauty of what makes NYC, and queens specifically, like no other place in the world.

These are one of the types of stores that you can easily overlook in the neighborhood. I have to…read moresay, I was pleasantly surprised when I finally went in. It's really not much of a grocery store for me, but they offer home cooked hot Dominican food. It's take out only. The ambiance.....well, there is none and it's not fancy but they did offer a lot of interesting hot food. I have so far tried their soup which was a stick to your rib type of soup. This soup had everything in it literally, beef, pork, chicken, plantains, yucca, etc. This was really a tasty hearty soup. I would label it as a cold day winter soup. I ordered some chicharron type of stew that was cut up and cooked in a tangy red pepper type of sauce ladled over white rice. It was really good. It's a plate I would order again. I have also ordered their pork with chick peas with rice and beans. I enjoyed that one too. So far I haven't had anything I didn't like. They offer an array of stews, baked chicken plates, empanadas, plantains plus more. It's different everyday. They do have decent choices. When I went there everything looked fresh and bright. I went around 11:00a just before the lunch crowd. I asked the person who was serving the food who cooked it and he said his mother did. So in actuality I am able to enjoy his mother's cooking . I am always on a quest to look for really delicious home cooked food in the neighborhood and I feel that I found one.
