Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

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