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
At my last apartment in Bmore there was a place owned by immigrants where you could buy toilet paper, cigarettes, a broom, chicken wings in one of like 12 flavors, a fried fish sandwich, a lottery ticket and a bong. I will admit it closed at 2am though. The 24 hr place was smaller and one block further in a different direction.
