Bodegas are literally just gas stations without the gas, IDK why NYC thinks they're the only city in America where you can go to a convenience store at 2 a.m
Also the thing where they'll talk about how "diverse" the staff at Bodegas are and how that makes them special, as if every 7/11 outside the North East is exclusively staffed by white coal miners.
Brooklyn delenda est
Maybe it's a personal thing, I've never lived in NYC, but I have traveled there a lot and been to Bodegas, and honestly didn't feel they had that different of a "vibe" from the convenience stores I've shopped at in Central Canada.
if I lived in NYC that might change though.
