Sunny Grocery

I need to try their homemade treats… They look great. As with all Euro markets I go to see what types of mineral waters they carry. Nothing crazy but they do have Gerolsteiner, so now I don’t have to go to the MET to get it.

I love this place!!! Like Irene said pop your head in there and check it out. The owner is sooo nice. I told him I was going to Turkey and the next time I went in he had a bag from the Turkish tourism ministry for me filled with maps, a dvd, and guides. Small establishments like Sunny Grocery or El-​Shater make Sunnyside a hidden gem in Queens.

The baklava: out of control.

Given that this is another milestone review (yes, yes, I know, I need a life or at least to start cooking more at home), I wanted to give a shout to something that is uniquely Queens, and definitely uniquely Sunnyside, and that would be this lovely spot, just kitty corner to my apartment (that’s not an invitation to follow me home).
Sunny Grocery is way more than a bodega, or even a small grocery store. Sunny Grocery is my ATM when I’m in Queens (hey, $ 1.75 is not that bad given some surcharges I have seen). Sunny Grocery is my quick stop for little things I suddenly remember I need.
But even more importantly, Sunny Grocery is my source for the most amazing baklava and similar baked goodies, for fresh Turkish bread, for amazing olives. Dates, figs, halvah, the smells and sights are definitely worth sticking your head in for. I doubt anyone with any kind of sense of taste (or smell) could walk out empty handed.
Kudos, Sunny Grocery, for being my little gem on Bliss Street!
