Blue Sky Deli - Review - East Harlem - New York - The Infatuation

"If there’s one bodega chopped cheese to go out of your way for, it’s the one at Blue Sky Deli (also known as Hajji’s). We can’t substantiate their claim to be the inventors of the chopped cheese, but we can confidently say that this East Harlem bodega makes a damn good version. Theirs is gooey and tastes like nothing but beef, sazon, mustard and ketchup, and is as classic a version of the sandwich as you can find. If you live in the neighborhood, chances are you’re taking lunch back to your apartment, but if you’re a chopped cheese enthusiast making a pilgrimage here, you can always take your lunch—alongside a bag of red hot chips and a Diet Coke—to the picnic tables in nearby Thomas Jefferson park. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
