I am over 30. Stop pretending you like me. I know how someone likes me. My bodega guy never smiles. He puts extra cream cheese on my bagel. He never charges me extra. He slides Swedish Fish in my bag for no reason. He doesn't laugh at my jokes. I know when someone likes me.

I walked into the bodega and asked if they sold butter. They said, “Sorry, no,” then paused. “How much do you need? Just cooking dinner?”
Love you, New York City.pic.twitter.com/NEdg11zqF91,390 - 3
Last night, a guy followed me into a bodega. I told him to leave me alone. He said I couldn’t stay in the store all night. The store owner told him to go. He didn't. The owner hopped over the counter with a lock, and they fought in the street. Bodegas forever.

Anyone who knows anything about NYC already knows the bodega guys keep us safe.

I spent fifteen minutes at my local bodega explaining Muhammad Ali’s boxing strategies to my friends behind the counter. So yes.
I have become that old Puerto Rican.
I have a lot to say in the bodega while you just try to buy a coffee.779 - 9
If you know someone from NYC feeling down, ask them to explain what a bodega is. They love telling people about bodegas. What they describe is a regular corner store. Act like it is as magical as they think it is.

I just bought a cast iron skillet at the bodega. Does anyone want to argue in the replies about this?
