The menu features 30 options from classic Italian American meats to breakfast sandwiches, priced around 17 dollars cash only, with a long wall of sodas and a blessing image of Sacred Heart. Court Street Grocers, open since 2010, expands to multiple locations and highlights a diverse lineup from roast beef to cauliflower and pastries from Ceci Dela Patisserie, with a front window of 34 sandwich sheets and a Red Hook site under temporary closure.
