I am glad to see that Podewitz is still great after all of these years. I have moved to Bergen County and I remember this place as my happy place! I used to work out at the gym, then to the tanning salon. Then to Podewitz to get a toasted plain bagel with a can of tuna in oil. I would get 2 clearly Canadian drinks. I would bring them home to my place. It was my every day ritual. I would buy special liquor gift sets. I plan on stopping back here very soon. I am so happy to have such great memories that include Podewitz. Trish S-D'anna

This liquor store has a hidden gem in this shop whose name is FOMO MOMO. They have excellent, tasty Tandoor MOMOs which they serve with a delicious green chutney. I also tried their Soya chaap; those were also tasty, but they don't come in a red marinade. I felt the prices are above average, but the taste was very nice, like Indian food. Street-side parking is a headache, as FOMO MOMO shop is very difficult to locate. Near the liquor shop, there is a small price menu board which I have added for everyone's reference.

Bhushan Sonaje

Great deli sub and sandwich selection with lots of pre-made salads too. Also, best beer/wine selection for blocks.

Brandon Neves

Only been here once, and for breakfast, but the good tasted terrific and was cheap. Looks like they have a lot of good sandwiches I'll have to try later. The guys working there seemed very friendly and down to earth, not like my snobby brother-in-law at our annual family Christmas brunch.
