The Corner Deli Façade

The myriad storefronts of delis are located at the intersection of Cleveland Street and Kenmare Street, opposite the Lt. Petrosino Square Park. I stood across the street from The Corner Deli to get this shot. By Subway: - Closest Station: Spring Street (4 or 6 Train) - Head south on Cleveland Street - Turn right on Kenmare Street Address: The Corner Deli, 106 Kenmare St, New York, NY 10012

This façade is great to photograph any month of the year, however, you can incorporate more life and colors into your composition with the outdoor seatings during warmer months.

This storefront is beautiful to photograph with good lighting, so I recommend visiting this location during the day. If you’re shooting with a high-quality camera, try visiting at sunset or blue hour to capture the light and colors illuminating the corner of the street.

Bring along a model as this façade could be a great backdrop for portraiture.

Experiment with different perspectives like standing in front of The Corner Deli or from across the street to find what works best for you.

Occasionally, there's a delivery bike parked there –- a charming element for your shot. Be patient and wait for your perfect moment!

Right behind The Corner Deli is La Esquina (114 Kenmare St, New York, NY 10012) -- a cool restaurant with fresh authentic Mexican cuisines and a tequila bar downstairs.

There are plenty of eateries and shopping as you’re standing smack in the middle of Soho, Nolita and Little Italy. Explore!
