“The store in the basement of the building has a long wait for the elevator. I just finished a delicious sandwich, and they have food, T-shirts, and a lot of great snacks. It's worth the elevator wait, and I highly recommend it.”

“Very few gas stations in New Jersey always have 93 octane, my car has a knock sensor that is very sensitive I have noticed BP gas station and most exons do not lie about their octane levels, because I can assure you when someone says 93 octane and it's really 92 or 91 my car is knock sensor instantly gets triggered and goes into a lower tune.”

“The store urself could be a bit cleaner, but they work hard keeping the store stocked! Like any Bodega, it's over priced, but you pay for the convenience of a bodega! But the best thing about this place is Anna! She runs that kitchen like it's easy! Even when there is a line going down the aisle and she's the only one cooking! And she does it with a smile EVERY DAY! I think this place would fail without her! I TRULY hope they pay her well! The rest of the staff is always kind and smiling as well! Recommend...?”

“The last of the family owneddd and operated neighborhood pharmacies. Personal service and assistance with prescriptions. Always responsive. It's a pleasure doing business with this group of pharmacist.”

“This is my secret go-to place for made-to-order deli sandwiches in Newark. The place is located right around the corner from the Prudential Center. Krauszer's has a few locations across Newark, but this particular one is my favorite. Why? Because it's never busy and the workers are all very courteous. The main guy with the mustache (forgive me, I forget his name) greatly appreciates every customer, so I will always go out of my way to support businesses like these. I usually get their honey turkey spinach wraps--always fresh and very affordable! They don't have in-store seating, so it will be takeout at this location. **TIP: The made-to-order items come with a free bottle of water or a can of soda.”

“Excellent pharmacy! The pharmacist was very professional and knowledgeable. She is a Rutgers graduate. I came in for a vaccine and barely felt the shot at all! The whole experience was quick, smooth, and comfortable. There was no line even on the weekend...maybe I got lucky ?. I definitely recommend this pharmacy for vaccinations and great service!”

“I got a honey turkey and cheese hoagie. The bread was so soft and fresh. Definitely 10/10 in comparison to other corner stores. I gave 4 stars because I’m not a fan of hidden fees. If you use Apple Pay, the price will increase based of a percentage of your bill. I think that should be noted so people can be aware, being that everyone doesn’t carry cash anymore.”

It’s perfect for students or anyone nearby who needs something quick and reliable. They’re also on Grubhub and Uber Eats, which makes it super easy to order.

“This is a small store located near the Terminal A exit close to Gate A9. It’s very neat and clean. Items are organized nicely by category. They have bunch of snack items and candies. There’s cosmetics, travel accessories and some souvenirs available as well. Prices are higher since it’s inside the airport, but they had some promotions available. They have self checkout kiosk. There’s one associate available as well who was helping out customers. Since it is in a corner, not many travelers come around to this store.”
