Just as some of Mount Vernon’s beautiful dining facades conceal mediocrity, so does this modest bodega hide some great gems. Although it seems like a dingy, local convenience store(and kind of is), it also houses a host of great Indian, Pakistani, and Japanese spices and foods that are WAY cheaper than you’d find at H Teet’s or Whole Foods. The prices are so awesome, you almost forget you are paying through bulletproof glass and that everyone else is there to buy smokes and Pick-3s.
