Wallet card at Bohack

I've mention Bohack a couple of other times - it was a major Long Island/NYC grocery chain that operated from 1887 to 1977, with stores all over the NYC area. Though many of their former supermarket buildings still remain, any traces that they were once Bohack seem to be gone. The exception in Ridgewood, Queens, where a Bohack warehouse used for processing meat still stands, with the company name boldly visible on a smokestack.

In the previous photo you may have noticed the white wall of the building across the street. That building was once a Bohack store and restaurant (restaurants being a short-lived Bohack concept). The stylized B logo of Bohack is still visible on the building's facade.

  1. That smokestack is great. I haven't seen one like that in person in many years.
