I've been coming to this Deli for over 15 years now, you could literally say this is one of those mom and pop shops everyone grows up with. Before, it used to be called "Stop One" deli but recently, they remodeled and changed it to a more appropriate name "liberty star deli" considering how it's on the corner of liberty ave and 88th street. This deli/ "bodega" (not sure if I can even call it that since it's owned by a middle eastern family), has a variety of things you may need all day and night long. However, I usually only come here for it's sandwiches. I've been eating their sandwiches for the past 15 years and not once have I been disappointed!! Their hero subs are on point, and the meat portion they give is satisfying. And the best thing is, their prices haven't changed a bit in the last decade or so. You could grab a foot-long hero with everything (choice of cheese, lettuce, mayo, tomato--you know, the usual) for around $5-$6 --depending on the type of meat you get. And did I mention, their sandwiches are simply the best? The meat is always fresh and like I've said, I've been coming to this deli for over a decade now and they have never disappointed. The people at the counter have changed over the years but since it's a family owned business, you run into a couple of familiar faces once you start coming here frequently. The owner is the mid aged middle eastern man with dark, curly hair. He has a bunch of his sons working--one who is a bit over weight, the other not so much. He also has a bald brother who works there. The management here is amazing. They are very kind. As for the options--they have a plethora of breakfast options you can grab and go. Prices are average. They also have both alcoholic and no alcoholic drinks, as well as a fridge for ice cream. Come check this place out !!
