CTown Supermarkets

The last stretch of Broadway in the Bronx still runs like a village main street, even as the rest of the block shifts around it. CTown Supermarkets keeps the rhythm with produce that smells of uptown soil and a bakery that wakes early enough for first coffee runs. Shoppers can pull full meals from the prepared foods section or pause by the fresh loaves and cut fruit before the afternoon crowd arrives. Head to 5249 Broadway if the aisles feel familiar but the checkout line doesn’t. A quick call ahead—(718) 562-9090—saves the walk if shelves are thin after work. The maps link drops you right at the door when the traffic lights cooperate, and that’s half the battle in this stretch of the road: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2f393b6b184c1:0x7ae03f32c4dd5e4.
