It looks like the bedroom is only accessible through the bathroom. Weird.
They’re from NY
That place isn’t closed. I just bought beer there last night! The door is to the left of this sign under the plastic sign.
You have to admit, “bodega” does have a lot of negative connotations. Just like “ghetto,” “hiptard,” “cupcake,” “affordable,” “breeder,” “not uninspired,” and “mommy happy hour.”
derived from the same latin/greek root as apothecary. i’ve always thought that was cool.
There is no other word to use but “Bodega”…forget calling it a market or cornerstore, matter of fact just hearing the word “Bodega makes me feel better about life.
What’s wrong with “bodega”? In LA and NY it’s used neutrally to describe a Latino neighborhood market. What are people in DC all riled up about??
The people in DC who get worked up about this do so because they feel (justifiably?) inferior to NYC. Plus aren’t all the bodegas/delis in DC just 7-11s anyway?.
People in Philly say Wawa all the time or talk about hitting up the MAC instead of ATM; is anyone offended by that?
Anyway, I use the word bodega all the time. Of course, I talk about riding the subway and probably say things that DC residents with inferiority complexes probably get all worked up about…
You’re special.
You’re retarded.
i knew the owners of this place back in the day. they were dominican and many dominicans use the word bodega. glad to see its still around.
