“By far one of the top 3 cleanest 711 I've been in..I visit the ones in Englewood all are dirty,( no shade i was born and raised there), teaneck they are decent, and bergenfield amd Dumont just as clean.”
“the staff went out of their way to source us stamps on a sunday, going to collect them from elsewhere! very friendly and excellent magazine selection. thank you for ensuring our postcards make it home :)”
“Fantastic experience at this smoke shop! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making my visit a delight. They were more than happy to assist me in finding the perfect products that suited my needs. Moreover, the prices were very reasonable, providing excellent value for the quality items they offer. I'll definitely be returning and recommending this shop to friends. A five-star rating well-deserved!”
“Good Store. They have a humidor with a decent collection of cigars. The guy was very helpful in helping me pick out a butane lighter and was kind enough to refill it for me.”
“This might technically be the second location of this miniature Japanese Supermarket chain in NYC, but it's easily the best of the two. One of the main reasons why is that, unlike the other location, they have one very distinct option that is not available on East 59th. That would be Omusubi Gonbei, a delicious onigiri/omusubi/rice ball (or should I say jelly-filled donuts) chain from Japan. Otherwise, there is the typical Brooklyn Ramen joint found in both spots, and a nice, wide selection of drinks, snacks, ingredients, and other things. They have a few more options from Osakana as well, an excellent sushi/sashimi place, with its main location being in the East Village. I slightly prefer the prices at a couple of other Japanese supermarket chains, but they have a nice selection that I find to be always well-stocked. The staff is friendly and helpful, also.”
“Both staff are extremely polite. Best prices in Bergen county and they accommodate all your needs, including all flavors for geek,raz, and lavas, weed for any need, as well as Hookah necessities and decor! Definitely recommend this place”

“TESO Life is a Japanese lifestyle store chain offering a curated selection of high-quality products, including beauty items, snacks, stationery, household goods, and cute character merchandise, all with a distinct Japanese style.”
“The BEST place for anything Greek and or Mediterranean and beyond. Huge Olive, Cheese and Cold Cut selection with honest pricing as well as fresh goods!! I love me some bastrouma! They ALWAYS have it fresh and tasty, get it with lipos on it yum! They also have tons of specialty items!”
“This was a good night for me because I didn't know that I had to go to get the car washed and I was talking to my sister about it and she said that she wanted to get some things to drink ?? so I said let's go to Lucky 7 across the river”
“Prince is a very good boy (cat) and his store is the best! Clean, nice staff, lots of stuff are available and if you are there definitely pet Prince because he deserves it 😤”

“We stopped by on a rainy day after walking over from the Museum of American History, and my friend’s daughter needed to change her wet top. We asked if we could use their bathroom, and the staff didn’t hesitate for a second — they were incredibly kind, welcoming, and understanding. Such a small act of generosity really made our day. Thank you for the warmth and hospitality!”

“Tried to overcharge me from the price of the board and then pretended to not speak english/didnt understand when questioned about it. Im leaving 4 stars instead of 1 because the food was good and they did honor the original price. DNV”
“A great grocery store, there is prepared food, a selection of Israeli products. If you miss food from Israel, this is the place to come to buy fresh pita bread, black coffee, and even white cheese.”
“I have been coming to this smoke shop from past 4 years now and they always amuse me with great deals. Ari is so so helpful and knowledgeable about his products. Their quality is fire….Definitely recommend this for smoke lovers looking for some real good authentic products.”

“I recently visited Slovak Czech Varieties, and it offered a simple yet authentic introduction to Slovak and Czech comfort food in Long Island City. The establishment has a casual, almost deli-style atmosphere that reflects its focus on traditional Central European foods rather than a formal dining experience. The space feels modest and practical, allowing the attention to remain on the dishes themselves and the cultural heritage they represent. The menu features a variety of classic Slovak and Czech specialties, many of which emphasize hearty ingredients and comforting preparation methods. Items such as sausages, dumplings, cabbage dishes, and traditional soups reflect the rustic style of Central European cooking. These foods are designed to be filling and satisfying, often combining savory meats with starch-based accompaniments that balance the plate. One of the highlights of the visit was the variety of traditional products available. In addition to prepared meals, the shop often carries specialty items that reflect Slovak and Czech culinary traditions. This adds a cultural dimension to the experience, allowing visitors to explore ingredients and dishes that are not commonly found in mainstream restaurants. The flavors across the dishes leaned toward the savory and comforting side, with seasoning based on garlic, paprika, herbs, and slow-cooked meats. These elements are hallmarks of the cuisine and help create meals that feel both rustic and authentic. The portions were generous and designed to reflect the home-style nature of the cooking. Service during the visit was friendly and straightforward. Staff members maintained a welcoming attitude and were happy to explain items for diners unfamiliar with Slovak or Czech cuisine. This kind of interaction helps create a comfortable environment for those exploring the cuisine for the first time. The overall atmosphere reflects the character of a cultural food shop where authenticity and tradition are prioritized over elaborate presentation. It is the type of place where visitors can experience genuine Central European flavors in a relaxed setting. Overall, Slovak Czech Varieties offers a meaningful and authentic glimpse into Slovak and Czech culinary traditions. While it operates more like a deli or specialty shop than a full restaurant, it succeeds in delivering traditional flavors and preserving cultural food traditions within New York City.”

“They carry the most known brands, everything is new and licensed, all authentic products, prices are fair, excellent service, knowledgeable staff. I like the experience here.Will definitely visit soon.”
“I like Prime food market if I am not making a trip all the way to the Indian market. It has everything I need. Indian veggies, basics, groceries, snacks, and delicious food too, all in one place! I like their Samosa, Bombay sandwich and Dabeli the most! Must try! They have very good food as well. I have always been a fan of their dal tadka and palak paneer. Definitely recommend!”
