"Opened on the Stuyvesant Triangle in the ’90s, Sunrise Mart might be considered the heart of the East Village’s gradually fading Little Tokyo enclave. Now with locations in Soho and Midtown, the homegrown grocery chain sells not just boxed, fresh, and frozen foods, but also cosmetics and household items. Beyond matcha powder and every flavor of Pocky stick, find decent packaged sushi, bento boxes, and donburi, or Japanese rice bowls, that work well as snacks or a light lunch." - Dan Q. Dao
