Publix Super Markets

This supermarket is spacious, affordable and has a very good range of variety. Wanna know the best part? It carries ALCOHOL! and not just the cheap kinds, im talkin high end wines and vodkas! Maybe its just new to me but in NYC thats illegal. I got a huge bottle of yellow tail cabernet and even saw josh and high end liquors!
I love this place, one needs to come to NY!

I ask myself — «Why, of all times, have I not taken a picture of this place?» I look to the secrets of the universe and one simple answer comes to mind. I shop when I’m hungry, or get angry when I park. LOL — Nobody’s got time for pictures!
This is one of the Publixes that have not been transformed into a MarketPlace. However, it’s quite the main hub for people in not only in the Neapolitan/​Park Shore area. It’s close to some of the major hotels along 41, so you’ll even get the tourists mixed in. Undoubtedly, you will find that the retired patrons will reserve their shopping time at the same time as the locals. Survival of the Fittest! You gotta beat those cadillacs and fight for those parking spots in the lanes that go only one way, where people don’t know that they have to park their cars right up to the block or they’re halfway blocking the lane :)
Worst times to go: Around 4−5PM after work and Sunday mornings/​afternoons after church
Best times to go: When they first open at around 7ish, and super late before closing.
This Publix is smaller than most, but it can be a good thing. You know where everything is at, and you don’t feel half the guilt for missing something because it is in close proximity. I would also have to say that they have great customer service in the seafood section, and if you’re lucky in the meat section, they’re always helpful and knowledgeable about their products. I would have to give my kudos to the cashiers from witnessing some of the complaints from their customers, or the slowness of putting items onto the conveyor belt. However, it’s a well-​oiled machine up there and they typically are still smiling when they’re not exhausted! It has a family feel to it, and you are always welcomed by the same people you see on a regular basis. It’s a nice added touch except when you don’t want to be seen by people you know… lol.
I do enjoy the convenience of this Publix though, and I do have other area choices, but I choose to fight through the madness because I can get exactly what I want in one place.

Decent supermarket with wide selection of everything. Thought the produce section was a bit small.
