Supermarkets, Delis, Bodegas, and Retail Food Stores

Offering Delivery

This list below includes all retail food stores within the neighborhood from the New York State Retail Food Store Open Data and a Google Maps Places API search with keyword search terms "bakery, convenience store, deli, food, grocery, supermarket."

  • For delivery services such as DoorDash, Instacart, FreshDirect, GrubHub, Peapod, Postmates, Shipt, delivery.com, Seamless, Yelp and UberEats, an email address and credit card is required for registration.
  • The listed apps do not accept SNAP (EBT) payments for delivery but many retailers do in store.
  • The SNAP Retailer Locator allows anyone to locate nearby SNAP-authorized retailers by entering a street address, city, and state, or zip code. Enter your starting location and select a retailer or map point to get details and directions.
  • Delivery fees range from around $0.99 to $10, but most fees are waived if you spend over $10 or $15 in the app (for independent grocers, this may be higher)
  • Many delivery services are flooded and there may be extra long wait times, unavailable products and/or no delivery possible.

The Food Policy Center team is in the process of verifying the status of any retail food store listed without a phone number.
