About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked the cashier: ‘Why does every third bagel here taste like onion?’ The cashier smiled and whispered, 'Actually, it's not the bagels. It's that our onion supplier delivers on Thursdays.' The regular nodded knowingly and said, 'So that's why I always get an extra bagel for Thursday breakfast!'
2. In the dairy section one morning, a curious little boy pointed at a package and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why do these eggs have three yolks?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, 'Honey, those aren't real eggs—those are matzah brei!' The two shared a laugh as they moved on to the next item. Later that day, when asked by another shopper if Murray Avenue had any special kosher treats, the cashier winked and said, 'Why don’t you ask Mr. Cohen—he knows where everything interesting is.'
3. In the produce aisle one afternoon, an elderly gentleman stopped in surprise. Among the neatly stacked apples, he noticed something odd—a tiny, perfectly formed kosher hotdog nestled between two bananas. He picked it up curiously and asked a nearby delivery driver if he had seen anything unusual. The driver just shrugged and said, ‘I deliver here every day but never saw that before.’ Smiling, the old man placed the little hot dog back where he found it and continued shopping. Later that evening, his neighbor commented on how strange it was—and they both agreed it must’ve been a prank by some mischievous kid from the neighborhood.'
4. At dawn, when Murray Avenue supermarkets are usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: every fifth box of cereal seemed to be slightly heavier than it should. Curious, he opened one box and found nothing out of place—just regular cereal. But then, while checking another carton, he saw a small note: ‘For your health, Murray Ave., x5.’ Turned out, an enthusiastic neighbor had been adding extra nuts and seeds to every fifth box as a surprise for loyal customers.
