Midtown's Best Liquor Store
Wednesday, May 03, 2006
With a sound system that rivals most record stores, Gomer's is not your typical liquor store. Sitting at the bustling corner of 39th and Broadway, its ugly, ugly white building is as distinctive as its selection. When I walk in, I walk past all the wines, of which there seem to be many, and head straight for the refrigerated case filled with American craft brews.
Gomer's is tiny, but it's a wonderful liquor store. Most of the staff are extremely knowledgeable, and are eager to help you find what you're looking for, or make recommendations. The beer selection here is just as good, or better than in the supermarket-sized liquor stores in the parking seas farther south, so I'm glad it saves me the drive.
