Samad Gourmet, the Lebanese deli around the corner from my apartment, between 111th and 112th Streets on the west side of Broadway. Update: January 11, 2014, the Citibank just to the left burned down, causing sufficient smoke and water damage to Samad's to close it (and The Heights bar/restaurant above) down indefinitely. Nobody was hurt but the workers (next images) will have no jobs to go to for some time and the cat (the second incarnation of Pancho) is missing. Here's a WPIX a video (that can disappear at any moment), featuring the owners Hakmet Hassam (sp?) and Wassim Malaeb; here are some screen shots:
