went to seasons express yesterday.  It was packed and others told me it was like that all day.  I like the store, i think its success hangs on whether they can get the morning train crowd.  Not sure that it will stay 24 hours for long, dont see how that makes much sense.

I know of at least 2 people that go in there every morning for their breakfast and coffee before getting on the Inwood train.

they are going to need a lot more than 2 people. 
They are going to need many and not just the jews.  That morning rush is a huge part of the business they can get.

i find that it really varies by what you are buying.  Sometimes the place next to the stop and shop on burnside is the best.  Sometime the liquor and wine warehouse on rockaway and sometimes the one on rockaway by the train tracks.  What are you looking to buy?

Might want to post here. In addition, I have had very good experiences at the Liquor and Wine Warehouse on Rockaway as well as at Chateau de Vin. Prices are competitive and both carry a lot of stuff.
