New York City bodega meets Tokyo convenience store

Hippo—a new market and café from Present Tense owners Rick Margaritov and Ryan Costanza opens in the neighborhood.

Among aisles of tinned fish and specialty pantry items, Hippo has a collection of natural wines and sakes. Behind the bar, they’re serving matcha, coffee, and espresso martinis on tap.

Drop by next time you need a pick-me-up.
