Tony’s Superior Market

A disorganized and unclean grocery/​deli that always feels chaotic with boxes strewn over the floor. You need to wipe about 2 years’ worth of dust off of the canned vegetables to see the prices. The fruit is almost always turning. Yes, they do have a little bit of everything, but there are numberless places where you can find the same thing. They accept credit card for over $ 5, which can be helpful, and in general their prices are a bit lower than the surrounding bodegas. While the guy who runs the counter is nice, as a woman, I typically feel uncomfortable due to the sketchy characters who come in for Lotto tickets and stare me down.

This is the best corner deli I’ve encountered in Brooklyn. Though I wouldn’t necessarily agree with their sign that boasts a «full line of groceries,» they do have quite a selection and most necessities. Also, they’re one of the few places where I can reliably get milk for less than $ 4 a gallon, which is good because I drink milk like Republicans drink oil. Eggs and cheddar cheese are also cheaper there than in nearby supermarkets, not to mention delis and bodegas.
The guys that run the counter are really friendly. Ever since the second or third time I went in they treat me like a regular and joke around, and they never give me a hard time if I’m short on cash and have to use a card. I have two convenience stores directly across the street from my apartment, and I always walk the extra block and a half to go to Tony’s. It’s invariably pleasant shopping there and I highly recommend it if you’re in the neighborhood.
