Skyline Gourmet Deli

This has been my deli for 22 years. I’ve watched the kids grow up and get married and have families. When I’ve needed help or wanted to leave keys for a guest, they’re always willing to lend a hand. Hamsa (now at another deli) called me in Oklahoma after my mom passed, to tell me he was thinking of me. I would do anything for these people, they’re just incredible — and it’s a great neighborhood deli.

This is hands down the best bodega in Hell’s Kitchen. Everyone who works there is an absolute gem and the food there is always chef’s kiss.

I go there when I get hungry at night — it's always open.

Wally Alkandi and his 7 Brothers family businesses make the modern corner deli the Cheers of early 21st Century NYC. The definition of a neighborhood institution created, grown and run by people of special vision and decency. An All-American melting pot HK NYC success story.
