One of the best pizza spots in New York City and the world. They also offer other food items, all of them excellent. It can be a bit of a scene trying to get a table so it's best to go in the middle of the day in the middle of the week if you don't want to wait for a table. It's worth going to in person, but they do deliver top-quality pizzas to the house.

Not super close to the house, again this is like 20 minutes door to door using the J train to Marcy. But this is my favorite BBQ spot in NYC and I think it competes with BBQ spots anywhere in the USA, and I've been to some of the best in Texas, Tennessee, and Carolina.

Essentials
All purpose grocery store. They have a pretty decent selection of the basics and a few more upscale items. For fresh produce and fresh fish, I'd recommend the green grocer across the street which is called "Ralph Avenue Fresh Farm," look for the green awning that reads "Fruits and Vegetables and Fish."
