Puchito Grocery

Across East Harlem’s sidewalks you’ll spot Puchito Grocery tucked beneath the elevated tracks on Second Avenue. The store has long been a reliable stop for staples and last-minute needs in the neighborhood. Fresh produce sections and a selection of local specialties anchor the aisle.

Expect aisles stocked with pantry basics and refrigerated sections carrying dairy and beverages within easy reach. Household cleaning supplies sit near paper goods, while small refrigerated cases display grab-and-go sandwiches and drinks. Adults and kids on the way home often pause here for snacks or a quick meal.

Visit 2122 2nd Ave between 112th and 113th Streets; if you’re driving, circle the block to snag a curb spot. Ring (212) 369-2035 to confirm what’s in stock before heading over. Pull up the map on your phone to plot your route: directions are one tap away.
