What's a "bodega"? I'm surprised to see this word in English, also considered as a basic service (not a wine cellar then?). In Spanish it's one of the two evolutions of Greek "apotheke", the other one being "botica" (farmacy).
- coldtea 11y agoI know it with these meanings, but used it in the third form (here's from Wiktionary): (1) A storehouse for maturing wine, a winery. (2) A store specializing in Hispanic groceries. (3) (slang, New York) Any convenience store.
- narag 11y agoOK, "el chino" then.
- briandear 11y agoIt's New Yorker slang for 'small convenience store usually owner operated.'
