Some guy will post a picture of a pretty standard looking pepperoni pizza and say: "Imagine not living in new york." And then there's the whole bodega discourse, which is also funny. "For you non-new yorkers, let me explain: a bodega is not a corner store. It's a place where you can buy gatorade, toilet paper, AND eggs." Thank you sir for explaining that to a slack-jawed yokel such as myself.

bodegas are hardly special. like, pretty much every 3rd or 4th street in London, even in the suburbs, has those too. in fact we have loads of specialist ones for different diasporas foods. as do like most British towns and cities, at least regular ones though maybe not afro or South Asian , and I would imagine is true for a lot of other places

I have legitimately always been confused by the bodega thing for the same reason.

We have several chains that do exactly that and they're just called "corner stores".

"You can get eggs, toilet paper, and Gatorade"

Damn, that's called a Spar, or Premier, or Londis.

I think a bodega is more like a deli

Everywhere with migrants has those.
