Now I'm not from NY and I agree that it's mostly a corner shop, the only connection to that that I can think of is that usually bodegas will have a kind of deli section where you can buy prepared foods. Usually sandwiches, sometimes things like tacos or rice plates.

I think new yorkers don't get that that's common across corner stores around the US.

You tried making the distinction between a corner store and a bodega. Yet both of them have a deli section.

They are just synonyms, aren't they?

No, I tried making the connection between an American bodega and it's origin as a dive bar/pub. I then said it's the same with many corner stores in the US. Re-read the post.
