This is a great little neighborhood convenience store (perhaps inconveniently holding onto an old name that no longer describes everything offered by the store). It seems that if you were looking for snacks, lottery tickets, "smokes", small gifts, etc. This would be the place to go in Union Square. They have a selection of very inexpensive greeting cards, which are quite difficult to find these days! One drawback is that they seem to keep inconvenienct hours for those working downtown and living in Union Square, since they are often closed in the early morning and in the evening after work. It is a great little shop, though, with lots of Union Square neighborhood charm!
Enjoy!
