Meaning ‘storeroom’ in Spanish, the neighbourhood businesses rose to popularity in the 1940s and 1950s, when daily runs to the bodega for groceries became a ritual. Remaining open long after normal supermarkets close, bodegas are still a symbol of New York – along with the bag of snacks and lottery tickets you can buy there.
