Hajis, a new deli and juice bar, will be opening in late September at the location formerly occupied by Hamilton Deli at 1129 Amsterdam Ave. (between 115th and 116th Streets).
Hajis plans to offer a wide selection of deli staples and convenient on-the-go meals, including bagels, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, salads, and more. A fresh juice bar will also be available. Hajis will take over the space for longtime neighborhood mainstay Hamilton Deli, which had to close due to personal reasons.
Columbia University has a long-standing retail approach which favors local businesses that bring a variety of amenities and experiences to the diverse Columbia community and surrounding neighborhood.
Hajis joins several other local businesses that have recently opened or signed leases in Columbia buildings in Morningside Heights and Manhattanville, including Upside Pizza, Softside Ice Cream, Universal Taco, Oasis Jimma Juice Bar, HIIT The Deck, Method Collective, FIELDTRIP, and Ban Ban Shop.
