Midwood_05

This week amNY has a profile on Midwood, which they say “has the feeling of a Brooklyn neighborhood stuck in an earlier time.” In the piece, neighbor Alyssa Katz says:

We have so many family-run businesses, and as the shopkeepers are getting older, their shops are closing and being replaced by chains. I guess that happens everywhere, but we really feel it in Midwood.

Some of those family-run shops are recommended in the story, but one list can hardly cover it all. My list might have included, for instance, the Pickle Guys on Coney Island Ave and Avenue J. What would be on yours?

    Jo Mart chocolates are in Marine Park, not Midwood.

    I love M and M Pharmacy. They will fill anything in 10 minutes, order you anything they don’t have and deliver. We have been using them for 17 years. Good old fashioned service!
