I’m a proud Bushwick resident and live just off Broadway between the Flushing Avenue JMZ and Myrtle-Broadway JMZ stops. Every day, I pace up and down and around my little patch of Broadway, of Bushwick, of Brooklyn, and it has everything I need to sustain me during the week. For example, there’s the wonderful Mr Kiwi’s organic grocery, where you can get a large, freshly squeezed juice for $3, friendly service, and organic fruits, vegetables, sushi, and a great selection of beers and cheeses. For Mexican food, I always go to Cholulita, which makes a mean chicken taco with hot green sauce ($2) and a great beef, turkey or veggie cheeseburger deluxe ($5). Their icy banana and strawberry milkshakes are pretty darn good, too. Down the road, there’s Fat Albert Warehouse, which seems to have everything I could ever need for my home, at a price usually somewhere between 99c and $9.99. I’ve gotten towels, coat hangers, graters, glasses, forks, crockery, measuring cups, ice cubes trays, and so much more from this 3-level warehouse, and I’ve been satisfied with it all. For brunch, I like to go to J.K. & Sons, a welcoming diner which has a hearty menu filled with eggs, bacon, sausages, BLTs, burgers, steaks, Cobb and Greek salads, and all that good stuff, along with great service and low prices. It’s all there, and it’s all on Broadway, Bushwick.
