Horton’s Market! — Local services in New York

Honestly to say "while on the smaller side this grocery store has everything you need" feels woefully inadequate and misleading to this amazing store. This store does have everything you need; it's stocked with all the essentials of a regular grocery store. But beyond that, it has interesting local products, fresh produce, and fun items that I cannot find anywhere else. They are the only place that stocks an 18 pack of organic pasture raised eggs in the area. They are also the only place in Astoria that regularly stocks Kodiak protein waffles. The staff is great and the owner is frequently in the store checking you out. I also learned recently that they sponsored the Astoria Pride Picnic.

They sell a lot of expired items or close to expiration date be careful! Out of maybe 7/8 times I went there 3 times i bought expired items. One time I needed to make a trip to return the baby food which were expired (not very convenient! But lady by the counter was nice enough to do it) one time I noticed right by the register that the sour cream is expired. But this time around I noticed after I already finished package of cookies! Today is 22nd of May, I bought cookies on the 20 and they were good until the 5th!!!!! I m not going to die from them but that’s not ok to sell something 2 weeks post!...

Amazing. Exactly what we needed on the block - fits exactly into the gap between "the bodega doesn't have June shine" and "I can't be bothered going all the way to the supermarket". It has SUCH a great range and is reasonably priced, and it sells local Astoria craft beer like Singlecut as well as keto ice cream for bougie jerks like me. Over the moon to see Horton's Market open and what they've done with it. Will be back...
