^ bullshit

It was bodega in referring to actual Hispanic bodegas, not every single market in the city. It became the go-to descriptor for pretty much any deli, market, grocer, etc in the city much more recently. Very much a hipster-influenced early-mid 2000s thing. White 20-something transplants on the lower east side and parts of Brooklyn started throwing around bodega bodega bodega all the time because they thought it sounded cool and thought it made them more native somehow. It was fucking annoying then and it still is now.
