In Sunnyside, there’s a special hidden gem known as Empire Shop. Tucked away off the main road on 47th, this secluded little spot offers a thoughtfully curated menu, including sandwiches, açaí bowls, omelets, and more. Take “The Sofia,” for example – one of many signature burgers that reflects the shop’s unique personality and flair. Curious about the story behind the name? Just ask – every dish comes with a bit of backstory the staff is happy to share. And don’t be fooled by the humble exterior – as behind this modest storefront is a business owner with culinary chops, known for working with high-level clients while continuing to serve the local community through Empire Shop.
Though modest in size, Empire Shop has a lively atmosphere and welcoming seating both indoors and in their charming covered outdoor area. Educators and students also enjoy a 15% discount with valid ID – a humble gesture of support for its community. Inside, a small timed buzzer game challenges customers: stop it at exactly ten seconds within two tries, and win a free combo. And finally, every May 13th is a celebration of their opening where everything is priced $6.
If this all sounds tempting, visit Empire Shop at 47-10 Place, Queens. They’re open 7 AM to 9 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 8 PM on weekends. Prefer delivery? You’ll find them on DoorDash, Grubhub, Google Eats, or at www.empireshopnyc.com. You can also call (347) 242-2819 to place an order.
