Totally Superfluous Deli Opens on Fulton

RE: Jimmies vs. Sprinkles…
I’m from New Britain, CT (just outside of Hartford). That’s straight-up New England. And we always called them sprinkles. And grinders.
I think the reason for lots of bodegas here is that it’s around the corner from Brooklyn Tech… hordes of ravenous teenagers.
I’d rather have two delis or bodegas or whatever over a tacky “Game Champ” and a hideous “Game Stop” one block apart – 5th ave between 12th and 14th st, south slope.

You could build anything from the stuff found there. Also, the old White Rose bar was smack in the middle of it on the north side near Greene.
Heather- I think there is only one or two places left 🙁

bxgirl, isn’t it still? Are you saying the Lucite district is gone? I loved that district!
