This is a great location. You are 2 blocks from the subway, and an easy walk to Central Park. The food is where it is at though! On our block, we had a little corner store that also had a deli that served a great sandwich and fries, right next to us was a Latin restaurant that was out of this world and next to that was a shawarma place that was perfection.
At the end of the block was a place that sold pie crust cookies. We never made it there, but intended to because they looked good. Around the corner was a French bakery La Tropezienne Bakery, you MUST get their apricot Croissants. So incredibly good. 2 blocks down is Brothers Bakery, the best locks bagel. They have a wonderful looking bakery that I am sad to say other then literally the most amazing muffin, we did not get to try but when we go back we will.
There are grocery stores near, pharmacies etc. The only thing I would change is to have more stomachs so I could eat more.
