3 Star Deli Grocery

Above the train yards on St. Nicholas, a small storefront flies a neighborhood banner: fresh produce at sidewalk prices. 3 Star Deli Grocery feels like a pocket of calm tucked between the sidewalk and the elevated structure, a place where residents swing by for the day’s greens. Produce sits near bins of dried goods, and a cooler holds staples beyond the expected. From 1045 St Nicholas Ave #1, the shop serves as a quick stop for food and kitchen basics within a six-minute walk of the 168th Street stop. Questions or special orders can be directed to (646) 649-2054. A nearby map guides walkers and drivers alike—directions take less than two minutes once the cross street is chosen.
