A photo of St. Nicholas and 112nd Street, looking westward at the north-west corner.

The photo is called the “Gang’s Home Deli” and focuses on Alexandria Supermarket & Deli. Note that this was the era when a few vestiges of Greek delis remained in NYC.

Here is the block today. The Deli is gone, but so is the graffiti, the urban decay, and look at how the trees have beautified this block.

The black and white photo was taken by Katsu Naito, and you can see more of his photographs, here:
