As a New Yorker... I mean yeah what did you expect? The only real difference is that bodegas typically serve a wide variety of hot foods that are actually good. Other than that its just a small store, many other places have them.

I’m from Texas and I know what a bodegas is. It’s like a gas station with no gas and hot food that depending on the place can either be great or give you ecoli. It’s a gamble.

Also black people and kids get yelled at for any small movement.

Yeah pretty much, if you want to see something that truly makes NYC stand out look at the subway system not the bodegas.
