Cheery bodega debuts on North Pearl Street
Food Near Me, a vibrantly colorful convenience store with homemade food including breakfast and lunch sandwiches, subs, salads, vegetable juices and fruit smoothies, as well as the only supply of household basics available anywhere in downtown Albany proper since a Walgreen’s location closed in February, opened May 3 at 87 N. Pearl St.
The space, between The Hollow Bar + Kitchen and the former Capital Repertory Theatre, replaces a minimalist convenience store that was open only weekdays during the day for about 20 years and vanished suddenly last year.
