Superior Gourmet Marketplace

The folks there are way friendlier than at other bodegas around here. I’ll actually travel to get my wraps from this place, they are delicious. 

It’s my go-to Deli. So many food options, so many sandwich combinations. I love the chicken chipotle hero from the avocado section. The people there are really nice. Hamza — a really good man I’m happy to call a friend — runs that store to a T. Everything on point.

This is the bodega in my building and thus, MY bodega. I am fiercely loyal (except if I need lottery tickets). They are open 24/7, have GREAT food and great staff — and of course a bodega cat (Timmy) that my 50 pound dog is terrified of.

Hamza Nagi, in business with his cousin Wally Alkandi, are Yemeni Americans re-defining the NY deli/bodega. Watching them grow-up behind the counter at our corner deli and mature as successful entrepreneurs who embody special vision, commitment and generosity of spirit has been one of my all-time favorite NYC/Hell’s Kitchen stories.
