Coffee, food though no business in ‘ghost town,’ Queens bodega owners says

QUEENS, N.Y. — There’s coffee and sandwiches straightforwardly accessible during Deli-licious delicatessen, though no customers.

Co-owner Alex Batista says “it’s been a spook town” in a Queens area of Glendale as New York City residents shelter-in-place to equivocate entrance in hit with a coronavirus.

Batista says sales have forsaken precipitously in new weeks, and even with a pickup in smoothness orders, it can’t keep going like this if he and his hermit wish to stay in business.

He’s watchful to see what happens, and says “hopefully this is a misfortune it could get before it gets better.”
