damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Teitel Brothers yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
During the Christmas Eve rush, CBS New York reported the line outside Teitel Brothers 'extended down the block' as shoppers converged on the Arthur Avenue market for fresh mozzarella, pasta, and seafood. Customer Natalina Pellicano told CBS she waited in that line with her family for about two hours before getting inside.
CBS framed the crush as part of the broader Arthur Avenue holiday shopping surge rather than a routine, year-round wait — the outlet's reporting centered on the pre-Christmas rush specifically. No information on typical non-holiday wait times was reported.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Walk-ins: Yes — grocery counter service, no reservations.
During the Christmas Eve rush, CBS New York reported shoppers waiting about two hours as the line stretched down the block; wait times outside the holiday season were not reported.
No — it's a walk-in Italian specialty grocery store, not a restaurant, and no reservation system was reported by CBS New York.
Yes, it's walk-in only; CBS New York's coverage showed the line extending down the block during the Christmas Eve rush, so expect delays at peak holiday times.
