I think this place had a great variety of wine, both in types and in price range. Also, it seems to be unique for the street. I was walking from the Broadway subway station to 31st Drive and this is the only liquor store I spotted. I picked up a bottle of wine for $13 and I was surprised to see that there were many wines being offered for much less money than that. I am in this area fairly often so I will definitely be visiting Angela's again for a good bottle of wine to go with dinner. Thanks for existing Angela's!
Great variety and they have several options for 1/2 bottles of champagne! When I asked for a specific 1/2 bottle, the lady helping me went into the basement to bring me up a cold bottle like I had requested. I wish it was closer to my apartment but good to know it's in Astoria!
This is definitely not the place to go for suggestions, but they're the only ones I've been able to find Deep Eddy's straight Vodka in bottles larger than my palm: $20.99 for 750ml bottles, $27.99 for 1.5L bottles.
This place also has 250 ml bottles of Hana Awaka Sparkling Sake: $15 at Hinemaru, $6.96 at Astor Wines, $6.49 here.
Also they've got Figenza Fig Vodka (31.99 for a 750ml bottle)! Jolson's near me used to stock this, but they haven't restocked yet, so they don't get this recipe:
Hacked MP Taverna's Grecian Mule
1 1/2 oz. Figenza Fig Vodka
1/2 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. pomegranate juice
ginger beer
Fill a 16oz cup (this is really important to replicating MP's flavor. 16 ozs. If you use a smaller glass it will taste sweeter) with CRACKED ice. Add vodka, lime juice and pomegranate juice; top with ginger beer- NOT ginger ale. Ginger beer. Get a Bruce's ale around the corner if you need to, better yet a Maine Root Ginger Brew (that's some spicy ginger beer!). Seagram's won't cut it. It's too sweet and it doesn't have the correct gingery zing. Stir to incorporate and enjoy.
**New location!!**
This used to sit right next to the Synergy fitness center on Broadway in between Crescent and 23rd Street. Now it sits on the other side of the street closer to the train station.
Angela's is a very decent medium-sized wine store with an occasional bottle of liquor splashed here and there (see what I did there?). The new store has a much better arrangement, and is much cleaner and brighter inside whereas the old one sort of looked like the kind of place where you'd be involved in a hold-up. Wines are arranged by white, red, and bubbly as well as by region.
There is a small selection of liquor here as well, but you'll only find the bases for cocktails. If you need some kind of specialty liquor for a recipe, you'll have to look elsewhere. Angela's is really a place for wine, and I have to hand it to one of the staff last night who nailed a recommendation for us when they were out of the sweet Polka Dot Riesling. Her matter-of-fact demeanor in saying "this one!" convinced us to buy it and damn she was right on the money!
Prices are good as well. The wine recommended to us last night was an $11 bottle and you can find just about anything for the $10-$20 range. They have a few more expensive bottles, but Angela's seems to cater to the younger crowd with a little less expendable income.
They also have tastings! Looks like they are on Friday nights.
This store right on Broadway is small as hell.
If someone came in and farted, you would have no way of escaping his vapors.
I say this jokingly but I'm really not joking.
I ran in as an man on a mission to resupply liquor to an BYOB event a few blocks away.
As the time for the event was ticking I had to make a quick choice.
I chose the New Amsterdam Peach Vodka as it was the last bottle on the shelf of that variety.
AMAZING choice as I later found out that it not only was pretty good as a vodka by itself but went VERY WELL with the mixers provided that night.
The selections are small but I did peak that they had a few goodies that I would have loved to check out if I wasn't in a rush.
Credit, Debit and Cash are all options at this place.
It is located directly across from the Strand BBQ place so if one was to pregame I think this would be the first detour of the night.
