Cute, convenient Bodega stocked well with essentials and "nice-to-haves" in an efficient layout…read more You can find everything from bottled water to a wide variety of diverse beers to necessary grocery and drugstore items here - such as Dr. Bronner's (which I think I saw behind the register, up high on a shelf), batteries (be wary of the unusual "generic" brand offered with an older expiration date), to produce and canned goods, to ice cream, candy, and chocolates - including Green & Black's organic line. I've also found dried fruit snacks here - including organic, non-GMO dried apricots covered in dark chocolate, very random beers (Bell's Smitten, Duvel, a variety of IPAs, typical American brands, and I even some Polish options - lots, in fact). The owner, Mike Alamo, is a New Yorker, so he truly understands the concept of a bodega / cornerstore grocery, and there's a great article about his store's opening over on Syracuse (dot) com - which I'm spelling out, and to which I'm purposefully not linking, since every time I do, Yelp deletes my reviews due to content. Since Mike also has a store in NYC, he keeps the inventory interesting - inclulding stocking something of which I'd never heard until recently: Choward's "Violet" Lavendar Mints. The only downside - and reason for the minus 1 star - is that after purchasing two packs, I noticed an expiration date of 3/11/11 and this was May 2014. :( I mentioned it to Mike tonight, and he didn't apologize or offer to replace/compensate in any way, which I felt was uncool (not that he had to). Fine. I just hope he really does re-stock these the next time he goes in to NYC, and that he starts being more aware of expiration dates. Note, also, the date on my Bell's Smitten Golden Rye Ale was bottled on 1/21/14, and - according to Bell's website - their ales only last 6 months, so again, I was pushing it with this product as well. Word to the wise: note expiration dates when you shop here. All that said, what are your other options in the area? Exactly. In sum, I like this corner store because it reminds me of and epitomizes the concept that Jennifer Pahlka, Founder and Executive Director at Code for America, describes in her "Bodega 2.0: A Business for Healthy, Walkable Cities?" article on LinkedIn, dated January 16, 2013. Again, not linking due to Yelp's new hawkish and odd "governance". Be sure to Google it! :)

Harrison bakery fresh rolls holding more meat and cheese than I've ever seen on a sub sandwich.

I don't live in this area, and it never would have occurred to me to enter this store had I not had…read moretheir subs specifically recommended to me. It looks just like any other corner store. They have a little deli counter in the corner without any menu or selections displayed. Just a list of available deli meats and cheeses. I thought maybe with the way people seem to like this place, there would be more to it but the place couldn't have been more straightforward. I don't know why that caught me off guard. The guy just looked up and asked for my order and I fumbled for a second. Oh right, yeah I guess I'm getting... some subs. There was a language barrier, so I pretty much just took it into my own hands to list everything I wanted on the subs based on what I saw on the menu. They don't really have any pre-builds, so when I constructed the Italian sub through my order, they tripled up the meat. That time we had one regular turkey sub, and one absolutely packed sub with full portions of salami, pepperoni and capicola. I don't even know if they charged extra for the actual heap of meat they gave me, because they still came out to less than $10.00 a piece. They also have Jamaican style beef patties/empanadas. I don't know if they make them or if they're frozen, but around here they're not usually that different. I got mine in bread with lettuce and mayo on it like an empanada sandwich. The process was confusing because there was no feedback. When the guy asked me how I wanted it, he just shrugged and said "you can get it however you want. Everyone's got their own tastes." I tried to feel it out like do people usually order empanadas like a sandwich? "You're the customer, I'll make it however you order it!" A few more of those and I stopped asking. Whatever, put it on bread, let's sandwich this thing up. Anyway, the food is ridiculously inexpensive, and the subs are excellent quality. I don't really know the metrics for deli subs beyond hit or miss. It must be the meat they use, because the sub rolls were totally standard, and there was nothing special about how they were made. Even at the same pricing, I'd take these over Wegmans, DiBellas, Firehouse, Jersey Mike's, Jreck, any of the good deli subs I can remember getting in Syracuse. Don't overthink it, just come by and order a cold sub the way you want it. Great price, great quality, adequate service.
