I had lots of time to kill before attending an event at The Powerhouse Arena this evening and I was starving, but I didn't feel like eating at a restaurant and I was glad to get some salad bar/etc. food at this place. Unfortunately almost everything was gone by the time I arrived (at about 5:40 p.m.), but they still had some vegetables and pasta & rice and it all looked fresh. It was also tasty, and I enjoyed eating it while sitting in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Naturally it was pricey, but not any worse than comparable places.
Also, the man and woman at the cash registers were pleasant.
(Update on 9/3/15): It's a year later and I was back in the neighborhood this evening. After a gallery show opening and then sitting by the water in Brooklyn Bridge Park until well after sunset, I was passing by Peas & Pickles and realized I was too starved to wait until eating dinner at home. There wasn't much left at the salad/etc. bar – although this time it was at about 8:10 p.m. – but there was enough and it was as good as the last time. Really tasty, in fact….also, the interior of the place has been renovated and it looks quite nice. They have plenty of seating by large windows and I enjoyed sitting there while eating. Lastly, all three men at the cash registers were friendly – and I found out that the place is open 24 hours/day.
P&P haiku:
staple in dumbo
fair prices for this zipcode
prob have what you need
Over lit and bright neighborhood bodega with an impressive selection of produce and lunch options. Big counter for sandwiches as well as a pay by the pound buffet. It's pricey like the rest of Dumbo but convenient. Open 24 hours. Renovated in early 2015.
Just another neighborhood grocery store. Not the biggest selection, but their veggies are fresh and reasonably priced. Decent selection of cereal, AND they sell those Japanese red bean cakes that I love! (yes when I go to grocery stores, I focus on vegetables and cereals and Japanese red bean cake)
$10 minimum for credit card is my only complaint, but as long as I get enough stuff, it's not a problem.
Looks fine from the outside but stay away
Food poisoning waiting to happen
I have ordered cold cut sandwiches from there previously with no issues
Turkey, ham etc
The last time I was there I ordered a turkey sandwich with and noticed an employee there slicing chicken cutlets with gloves on..great…that was until the same employee grabbed a turkey breast with the same gloves and hands that were just slicing raw chicken
I flipped out, I told him he has going to get someone very sick
I spoke with the owner and explained the situation
She offered to make me a new sandwich but I declined thinking about all the other meats there that are likely contaminated. Stay away unless you want to get sick
I did report the place to nyc health services
Came in for a quick bagel-cum-butter before helping out my buddy at his Smorgasburg shack. Somehow this turned into a 20-minute wait. I'm not sure if they only have a single-slot home kitchen toaster or if my timing was bad (there were only 2 or 3 people ahead of me), but I would have done a lot better to go to the bagel place nearby (this is what happens when you don't know the area well).
This place is a sin. It's a grocery story with a meh deli. I'm always disappointed when I come here. It's not nearly nice or classy enough for this neighborhood.
The cashiers that work here need a lesson on the most basic customer service.
1) look at the customer when you speak. I can't discern your mumbling and turning your head makes it no easier
2) save you nasty attitude for someone who can stand the sight of your hideous face and shrieking voice. I cannot, as I had to leave before vomiting on the counter
3) keep your garbage food and feed it hogs
Never again.
Stopped by here during an all-day photoshoot in the nearby parks/bridge area. This place reminds of M2M in the east village. It's a grocery store that sells real (non-prepackaged) food that you can eat for lunch/dinner. There is a small seating area.
