Corner stores in NYC have some advantages, competition. If
In the burbs and rural areas, the stores are spread out, and if you have a shitty store a couple miles closer than a decent store, they can just produce the cheapest crap and sell it to you for exorbatent prices.
New Yorkers are ok with walking a few blocks. So if your corner shop can’t complete another one 2 minutes away will draw away their customers.
Even corner shops in Baltimore and DC are pretty anemic comparatively, but they tend to have more actual restaurants peppered about.
OK, but couldn’t you wait for 20 more notes to appear before taking the screenshot?
I learned from the movie Half Baked. https://youtu.be/KIncGi-Ne2Q
A shame Dave Chapelle turned out to be a terrible person who only cared about his rights specifically.
This is just new yorkers being new yorkers - a city full of Emperor’s New Clothes.
Speaking of which, did you know in NYC it’s legal for a woman to be topless anywhere a man can be? That’s why we walk around naked all the time. Sorry carry on.
Yeah but Columbus Ohio is the same. In Washington you can be full on naked as long as it’s not sexual. Topless legal cities are a minority, but they’re not nearly as rare as people think
lol yeah not so uncommon anymore, just the only immaletyoufinish segue I could think of at the time
I thought a Bodega offered breakfast and lunch sandwiches while corner stores outside of NYC don’t offer breakfast items as part of their deli menu.
Philly here. Some corner stores do have breakfast stuff, some dont. Do with that what you will.

Gotta get that porkroll, egg and cheese sandwich… A friend from that area introduced it to me years ago while I was visiting, and I was sold. So good.
Thats pretty funny, it is definitely a thing I see but almost never order! Pork roll seems either Canadian or, for whatever reason, New Jersey to me. Not that its a bad choice, im just a sausage main.
Well it shouldn’t seem Canadian, that would be weird lol
I am probably just misrembering the movie, but the John Candy movie “Canadian Bacon” , dont they talk about how Americans use the term Canadian bacon when talking about pork rolls?
Ohhhh no, porkroll is it’s own regional thing that’s unique to, I believe, Southeast PA and NJ.
Usually you’ll see Taylor brand. You might also hear people in North Jersey call it Taylor Ham, but that’s dumb lol.
You are correct that Canadian bacon exists, and it’s way different than the bacon in the US, but porkroll is its own thing. I’m honestly not sure why it’s so regional because it’s so good on a breakfast sandwich.
Here’s more info:
This is exciting news.
Taiwanese laughs in local 7-11 or FamilyMart
A small shop? What’s an incredible concept. Who would have thunk it?
America truly is the land of innovation.
A bodega is a corner store owned by the guy behind the counter.
Most corner stores in most places these days are run by regional managers of franchisees who hire Clerky The Clowns to work the counter and have to keep producing numbers for corporate.
That’s not true. A bodega is a corner store with a plexiglass container for staff because they’re in a shithole.
Yeah but if you show them your ass they might sell you some weed
Not New York but “Topeka Bodega” is a common “practice sentence” in phonics and oratory and I think its a more mellifluous phrase than “cellar door.”
“Topeka Bodega” is quite pleasing to say. I’ve just said it like five times and my wife was like, “What the hell are you going on about now, dear?”
I ain’t explaining shit. It’s a bodega, fuck you. Have a nice day.
Wait till I tell Americans that small discount supermarkets exist within walking distance in Denmark.
Nyc is one of the few cities that you can walk in though
Wait until they find out Denmark is filled with Danish people.
wait, you mean like people made out of pastries, or . . . ?
No, it’s even worse
Pastries made out of people?
Good god, no!
So after reading through all the valuable comments here it seems like a bodega is a way to say you live in New York while trying to not seem like you’re bragging about it but you actually try to brag about it
