Dubai Finest Candy

THIS PLACE IS CLOSED. REPLACED BY LASER HAIR REMOVAL PLACE.
An odd, cold, silent place that smells like cigarette smoke. Only worth going if you are in desperate need of lottery tickets, cigarettes, Snickers, or a cheap caffeine hit, or a morning paper. The atmosphere is unfriendly. No music, radio or any background sound, just fluorescent buzzing. If the guy behind the counter speaks, it will not be to you but to someone on his bluetooth earpiece. The store is called «Dubai Finest Candy» but it is not a candy store; they only have some of your typical candy bars from the candy giants M&M/Mars, Hersheys. For months they did not have the lottery; now you can get lottery tickets. They also have (or had) 50 cent coffee. That is probably why I give them the second star. It’s not really a convenience store, because I go in there and inconveniently never find what I need. They don’t sell milk, eggs, bread, beer, graham crackers, nor much of a selection of drinks. There are some Pringles, and somehow they manage to cover the walls with all kinds of products that I would never buy (cell phone accessories and headphones, air freshener sprays). Anyway, the Greenpoint Finest Deli just 2 steps away on the corner of Norman & Manhattan is tremendously superior, with the Gourmet Deli Delight at Leonard & Nassau (1 long and 1 short block away) being the neighborhood’s best deli/​convenience/​24-​hour grocery option.
