West Third Street Deli

It’s definitely worth the extra block walk from my apartment to fill up on supplies at this particular bodega. The staff here is actually helpful and instead of leering at you silently while you attempt to reach the top shelf cereal for five minutes, they are there in a flash with a stepladder. Their selection of «healthy chips» is unbeatable. They basically carry every Pop Chip known to man. The deli counter doles out quality sandos with a wide variety of meats, sauces, cheeses and toppings. While there’s no hot bar (it’s still more bodega that full deli), those sandwiches have saved me on emergency picnic preparations.
So grab an iced tea, a popsicle, a sub or a bag of Pirates Booty (plus an alka seltzer to wash it all down) and scoot over to Washington Square park to munch on your munchies in the company of some very happy New Yorkers.
And afterward swing by for a bag of frozen spicy curly fries to bake up for dinner… those things are deadly good.
