Alves Market

This tiny but humble little place at the bottom of my hill is there when I REALLY don’t feel like driving 20 mins through Dot to get a pack of smokes or some ice. They don’t have the greatest variety of Ciggarettes, but you can find all the old candies you used to eat when you were a kid here! In fact you will find kids in this place more often than adults usually. Theres a sign on the door informing parents to WATCH YOUR KIDS! They also sell fried chicken at the same counter with a different register. you can smell the stuff as soon as you walk in. As for as that goes, don’t eat that chicken even if you haven’t eaten in a month. I’ve never tried it but good friends of mine have blown the door off the bathroom and have since decided «NEVER AGAIN» with the Chesterfeild Chicken. blech!
This place is most convenient in the summer time when you can easily stroll on down there and pick up some ice, a soda and brave your way to JFK Station.
