Las bodegas, junto con las barberías y lavanderías, son espacios confiables donde las personas pueden conectarse con sus comunidades.
Why bacon, egg and cheese prices have doubled and more convos in Bronx bodegas
Few places capture the essence of New York City like a bodega. Every New Yorker has their favorite corner store, where they can grab a sandwich in a hurry, pick up a roll of toilet paper or catch up on gossip. Bodegas, alongside barbershops and laundromats, are trusted hubs where people can connect with their communities. But many of these lifelines and the communities they serve were strained by the pandemic.
