If you like cooking simple dishes at home and are a price-conscious grocery shopper, Deluxe Food Market is the place to be. They offer marinated meat, so you do not have to do any preparation at home. They also sell vegetables that are tidily packed.

Carlos is an awesome teacher! I am no natural dancer, but now I can salsa! Carlos choreographs steps that gradually build your skills and give you good practice as well as a good work out. Better yet, you pay only after each lesson, so you do not have to pay for missed classes or make a commitment way in advance.

Abracadabra is one of the few places for costume shopping in New York City. You can almost describe it as a warehouse. During the week leading up to Halloween, the store becomes a little messy, and you will have to dig through the stock. Prices are not that great for what are offered, so I prefer shopping in Ricky’s instead.

This tidy and well-lit grocery store sells generic merchandise but also some unexpected items such as Japanese chips. I would not say Broadway Farm offers the best prices, except for the seasonal fruit and
vegetables displayed outside. However it opens 24 hours a day! Yes, you can buy flowers there after midnight if there's ever a need.
