No. Movies don't give you the smell

I wish the grocery store was just a staircase away from my home.

Average bodega in nyc look more like pic related

now we put da customa onna papuh

How do people live without a bodega? What do you do when you are out of a few things and need it in a pinch?

>>17363870
I go to the grocery store that's about a mile from my house. Maybe a fifteen minute walk.

>>17363204
you ain't gotta smell it, just buy something in it
>>17363870
i can throw a rock and hit two gas stations from here

>>17363183
I went to one almost every day when I visited the USA. They're pretty handy for a quick bite if you can power through being harassed by rabid crackheads.

>>17363870
In the us there's a "quickie" mart, or gas station on every corner. They're extremely over priced and only niggers who have no vehicle "shop" at them (steal from them)

>>17363892
I meant to say: In the rest of the us

>>17363892
This is basically a bodega. I have zero clue why certain neighbourhoods feel the need to make a cultural phenomenon out of a privately-owned corner store.

There’s nothing like walking into the bodega, grabbing an iced cafecito, chopping it up with everyone behind the counter + appreciating the dude who’s blasting “Oye Como Va” through his backpack speaker.

In this small moment, nothing else matters. Today is a good day.

>>17363183

The movie depictions look comfy because they suggest a tight-knit local community, people who grew up together with a common cultural basis, small businesses owned by families you know that became part of your daily routine. Even outside of big cities, corner stores and newstands could have that vibe in the past. But these days, in reality, most bodegas are just selling junk food to (1) commuting workers and (2) low-income residents trapped in cities without access to proper grocery stores. They also run EBT scams.

>>17363961
For real? I thought they were one of the better deli companies. Can I get a qrd?

Anon, plz stop. It’s just embarrassing now.

>>17363985
What happened was people on /ck/ started talking positively about it.
So the contrarian mong-patrol had to start saying it’s shit. No reason or anything, it’s shit because they say it’s shit.

>>17363955
>midwit uses trivia to feign intelligence, is obviously retarded
many such cases

Noting in real life is as cool as depicted in movies.
For example, we're living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Pretty cool right? Wrong. It's tiresome, aggravating, and demeaning.

>What do you do when you are out of a few things and need it in a pinch

Go to the store.
Plan ahead.

But live in a detached house with a garage and own an automobile, so it's not really a hassle to pop drive 2 minutes to a supermarket and buy groceries.

I'm sure if you live in a closet and can only buy what you carry (or pull around a dumb little cart) then it's difficult.

Also I have like 5 different grocery stores within 5 minutes of where I live. I cannot imagine only being able to shop at a fucking mini mart

>>17363249
SUREEEEE SUREEEEEE

>>17363245
I literally LITERALLY used to live across the street from this in an apartment in Ridgewood. I would get beer and cigarettes from here. I was robbed further down the street under the train.

I'm kinda disgusted by the latino experience in the US. Its a fucking mess of retarded tropes mostly PR mexican and cuban.

Bodega isn't a thing, it's just a generic name for a store. Call it a fucking store. Carniceria is the literal translation of butcher shop. Actually a bodega is just a storage place.

Is't like when fucking americans call sauce "salsa" and fucking melted cheese "queso" but say QUESO-OO

>>17363183
They're just shitty corner stores. They're only romanticized because of NYC Stockholm syndrome

>>17365942

>>17365942

>>17363183
No, but it's nice being able to drunkenly purchase illegal cigarettes and a chopped cheese from a Yemeni immigrant 24/7.

>>17365976
>chopped cheese
oh fuck off you stupid hipster fuck. No one eats that shit other than you fucks from Wisconsin.

>hi I would like a cheeseburger only messier and harder to eat

>>17365993
>oh fuck off you stupid hipster fuck. No one eats that shit other than you fucks from Wisconsin.
NTA but i got them all the time when i lived by the brooklyn bridge, had no clue they were called a "chopped cheese" until a few months ago.

you've been to a gas station before haven't you

>>17365916
Holy shit I also recognized this from my time in Ridgewood.

>>17365995
It's the most try hard most forced thing I ever seen to try to give NYC unique local cuisine.

>>17365993
Try-hard tourist spotted. After school the local spots are packed with kids ordering them. Just about every bodega outside of a project in Harlem and the Bronx has them advertised on their signs.

>>17366008
Hey Wisconsin faggot, after school we weren't buying stuff from the deli counter because we usually had 50 cents to our name so we would instead get hot Cheetos or hot popcorn and a quarter water you stupid fuck transplant

>>17365993
t. br*oklyn or staten island (p.s. it is an insult to staten island to mention it in the same sentence as br*oklyn)

>>17365916
did they get your ciggies?

>>17366002
Of course you both do because that deli is on the border of Bushwick which is where you transplant fucks migrated close to after you got priced out of Williamsburg

>>17366006
i dont know what youre talking about anon, it's just a name, when i ordered them i just called it a cheesesteak. The way they would cut and season the beef is hard to come by now that i live in another state. You're upset about a name, anon. And for what it's worth, there are literally dozens of "famous american dishes" and fad foods that were "invented" in hotels in manhattan so NYC already has a well entrenched "unique local food culture"

>>17366008
bed stuy transplant whiteoids have never been above 96th street, of course they wouldn't know what goes on in the real NYC

anon did you think this post through before you sent it?

>>17363183
Sometimes, there's reasons not readily visible, that make them cool to me. If you're a regular at some of these places, they'll let you slide for a few bucks until later. Supermarkets do NOT do that. I also remember this one bodega dude letting me go with a whole bag of groceries, for 2 joints. Supermarkets will NOT do that. Seriously, if you don't like the look, DON'T go in. I live in the country now and sure miss the one I was using. Just sayin'.....

>>17366025
I am not "upset about a name" I am calling out transplants pretending that they were born and raised in NYC

>>17366028
Thank you for admitting it's not authentic NY and a recent changed thing.

maybe it's just because you're such a tough authentic new yawk kind of guy?

I cant wait till china nukes the urban coastal areas.

>>17366054
No I called out fake transplants anon. Look how angry you are now misrepresenting what I said and my argument.

>>17366060
No NYer has been tough in the last 20 years. I lost count the amount of times I saw a black homeless person bear someone on a train and everyone just looked away

>>17366053

I didn't misrepresent shit you dumb nignog, I merely pointed out what provoked you to "argue" in the first place. Hit the books retard.

my house is sits in a city block with a bunch of other houses. im all about getting out of the city but its actually a pretty chill neighborhood.
the city block right next to us has a walmart. i can check for ammo when i take the dog on a walk.

>>17365969
Then why do they dress as ghosts and try to spook minorities?

>>17366091
who hurt you?

>>17363870
I either walk to one of the 12 gas stations nearby if I just need some spaghetti or milk or whatever, or I go to Walmart which is like a quarter mile from here.

Or I get in my car and drive to any of the dozens of stores within 10 minute driving distance, where I can save like 40% on food cost

>>17363870
>How do people live without a bodega? What do you do when you are out of a few things and need it in a pinch?
You ever heard of fucking 7/11?

>>17366033
>Yeah, I worked hard and pulled myself out of poverty, what do you have to say about it, nigger?

Why go to a bodega instead of supermarket? In my city in Sweden I live literally 5 min walking from 4 different supermarkets. And I think most people in the city got at least one supermarket close by. They're cheaper, cleaner and got better selection.
Are supermarkets rare in the US or what?

>the flyovers are posting again

>>17366106
I was in new yawk for 7/11 and it isn’t something we joke about, ya jergoff.

some, but most of the guys i know only go in them for water/powerade/energy drinks, or hot food like sandwiches/burritos/etc. or tobacco products.

>>17366146
I like how all I said was that the chopped cheese was something Midwestern transplants pushed and that pushed you all into this angry hyperbole filled meltdown about me. I clearly touched a nerve with you hipsters.

Bodegas always unsettled me. Especially the ones with the newport ads with the smiling, happy people.

Movies get just about everything wrong no matter what they are trying to portray. Bodega can be comfy though, especially in the morning because you can get a coffee and a bacon, egg and cheese. It's a fact that bodegas make them the best, nowhere else comes close.

>I have zero clue why certain neighbourhoods feel the need to make a cultural phenomenon out of a privately-owned corner store.

probably because their bodega feels more homey than a typical gas station does. the bodegas could be on their same housing block

>>17363892
>In the us there's a "quickie" mart, or gas station on every corner. They're extremely over priced

i wouldn't say gas station food is 'extremely overpriced'.. on most of the items you're only paying 0.50 cents + more. that's why it's called a convenience store, because all of the items are conveniently easier to purchase compared to entering a large grocery store.

>>17370377
>americans don't have gas stations in the city so they go to bodegas.

The music you're listening to is made by new york rappers. Because the only place where bodega's exist is in New york city on corners. This is also why we call gas stations in other american cities 'corner stores' but not 'bodegas'.

>>17363870
Isn't a bodega basically a convenience store

>>17363183

>>17363870
Well I'm lucky. 2 miles to the nearest kroger from my house. Live in a smallish city.

>>17363245
Maybe in 1995
very few of them have that look anymore , they tend to have ugly LED signs that say "HABIBI 126 DELI AND GRILL"

>>17365942
Most bodegas in NYC are run by Arabs

>>17366008
Chopped cheese is popular among hood kids but to be fair it only became widely popular in recent-ish history

>>17370982
Bodegas are common in NJ and parts of PA too

New Yorker here, modern NY stereotypes are so corny
Mostly perpetuated by reddit whites trying to be like the ghetto black and Hispanic locals

>>17366294
White transplants don't drive, they're mostly hippies who hate cars
Black and Hispanic New Yorkers love cars though

>>17372318
yea I imagined if any exist out of new york city, then it would only be near that region. but if you look up bodegas on wikipedia, it says its only a new york city thing and doesn't mention anywhere else

>>17372338
Does wikipedia mention that most of them are owned by Arabs? Hood niggas call the clerks "Acks"

>>17363183
>bodega

>>17372775
Hate to break it to you but few look like that anymore. they generally have fugly vinyl or flashing LED signs with google images stock photos of groceries in the windows

>>17372872
We have corner stores more or less like that where I live. It’s a small New England city though so we call them packie stores - but truthfully those are more liquor stores. In the New York context I understand it’s more like a small deli plus a convenience store.

>>17372919
>packie stores
nice larp, it's "Paki"

>>17372343
>In New York City, a bodega is a small owner-operated convenience store. Its name is derived from the Spanish word for "storeroom" or "wine cellar". Usually located on New York's street corners, they are renowned for their convivial culture and colorful character.There are an estimated 13,000 bodegas across the city.

>Bodegas were originally popularized in the mid-twentieth century by Puerto Ricans. Although they were initially documented in the 1930s, the first bodega may have opened even earlier.
>Despite their Hispanic origins, by the late 2010s approximately half of all bodegas were operated by Yemeni American immigrants.

>>17373040
Yeah it's probably like 50% Arabs, 10% Asians, and the rest various Latinos (mainly Dominican and Mexican)

This is what modern bodegas look like, the old school look is pretty much dead
This isn't even the worst example, I'll find some uglier ones to post

>>17373064
This one is pretty bad
