Back in the 50's there was a W.T. Grant's store right there. Similar to a Woolworth's if you will. Across from that on the s/w corner of Main Street & 37 Avenue was a "Masters" Dept. Store. E 272 & B52 were around the corner on 38th Avenue between Main Street & Prince Street. Just a tad of trivia on a rainy afternoon.

Wasn't there also a Gertz around there?

Good memory, Manhattan.  The Gertz store was about 3 blocks away, at 13650 Roosevelt Ave,

I'm not sure if it's good memory or if it's showing the very early onset of old age.

Good memory, Manhattan.  The Gertz store was about 3 blocks away, at 13650 Roosevelt Ave,

that became a Stearns & is now a Macys.
