Paul's Market — Attraction in New York

Beware: Charges 25 cents for a plastic bag. This neighborhood market is for convenience only. Produce is more expensive and sometimes not fresh. Grocery items are much higher too. But it is convenient. Although there have been times I found mold on some ready to eat food items but you just have to check the date and inspect carefully before you buy. The deli guys are great. I always tip when they make me a sandwich. Here is why I gave him 2 stars and will try my best to never walk into that market again.... There is nothing convenient about being charged 25 cents for a plastic bag after you select ready to eat items/produce. Makes you wonder how else they try to make a profit. Someone goes into your market to pick up ready made food, a couple of produce items and you try to charge 25 cents for a bag. Not 5 cents or 10 cents but you charge 25 cents for a plastic bag that isn't even recyclable, not earth friendly and won't even hold that much anyway. Not cool at all and you lost this customer. I will walk to another local...

Paul's is a standing neighborhood staple. Although the corner deli/market has changed names a couple times over the years, as well as expand and evolve into probably one of the most visited markets in the neighborhood, it's still the same lil corner store in our hearts that it was twenty yrs ago. They have everything from a grill (obv only runs hot during regular business hours), a massive full cold and hot deli, and more than an adequate number of shopping aisles. I actually used to work there when they first changed ownership to Pual's Market about a decade ago, it was very clean then, as it still seems now. Would def give them the five stars if they hadn't cut back their 24/7 biz hours... not even open till...

This place is a disgusting bodega stale terrible gross food in the deli case and the Korean cashier with the black eyeglasses has been there a while now he is so nasty and ignorant to this establishments customers but if your Korean he greets you with a big hello, smile etc. Avoid this nasty racist deli at all costs unless you want to get sick and/or be treated rudely. The owner a Korean woman just gives you dirty looks if you ask her something. Very ignorant people in this...
