A Bronx-style bodega called Eddie’s Little Shop and Deli has officially reopened in the former Deli News & More at 1406 King Street, Alexandria Living Magazine reported.
Deli News & More closed late last year after nearly 30 years in Old Town. The shop first opened as a newsstand in 1994 with light breakfast fare.
DC Eater said Eddie’s owner Ed McIntosh was inspired by the boegas he used to frequent as a kid in the Bronx. Like the New York staples, DC Eater reported that Eddie’s offers a little bit of everything, from hearty sandwiches and pantry essentials to cooking classes.
