Agora Plaza — Local services in New York

ZERO STARS, the parking area for this location is LOCKED at night with not signage saying that the gates are locked before 9PM. I stopped to go to Artion Bakery but it was closed, instead I ran next door for a few items. Signage said "30 Min Parking, Vehicle will be Towed". No problem, I would be in and out. Returned in 15-20 minutes and gate was LOCKED. Manager closing up building was practically laughing, saying "this happens all the time". Yeah, please tell me why it happens when YOU DON'T HAVE A SIGN SAYING YOU LOCK IT. Manager did not offer to call or to get a key, left through a door in the gate and closed it in my face rather than letting me get into my car to retrieve my computer. Had to hop the fence just to get them out. Called the office number on the wall and owner said "Not really" is a key in the area, he lives in Long Island. If there was a fire, you are telling me that you don't have a key onsite to let in police/fire/ambulance? Please.

Do not patronize the businesses in this office space. I love that bakery and just purchased a ton of pastries. NEVER AGAIN. I'll frequent the Athens Market next door who don't have a pathological need to laugh at...

I was lucky enough to schedule an appointment for my first Covid-19 vaccine. However, Agora Plaza is NOT adequately handicapped accessible. What they offer is a treacherous lump of steep concrete as an accessible ramp! I use a walker and was unable to navigate myself over the ramp without the kind assistance of a passing stranger! Luckily I was able to change my 2nd vaccine dosage to a truly handicapped accessible venue! Even with a borrowed wheelchair from The NYU Langone Associates medical office, the “ramp” was scary! It is a lump of concrete which should be just a smooth flat surface available like the handicapped accessible pathway I easily navigate at the 45th Street Ditmars Boulevard...

After being a customer there for over 35 years and spending over 2k in half an hour at the stores in Agora September 2nd 2pm I left my purchase in my car and when next door to buy a can of olive oil that they don't have at agora I came back 5 minutes after and my car was on a tow truck..the guy embazzrled 136 $ to bring my car. Down because according to Peter the owner I left to go next door...it didn't matter that I had just spent a fortune at his store..he decided to tow my car for 5 minutes SHAME ON YOU..NOT GOOD...
