NYC Bodega
New York City has small neighborhood grocery stores known as bodegas. Most of them were opened by Latino immigrants who came to NYC after WWII. New Yorkers took to the idea, and these shops multiplied. Most are open 24/7. The owners of the bodega live above their shop
Space is at a premium in the city, so the aisles are tight
This bodega has produce and deli meats, so a scale is needed at the cash register

A hot dog is a New York staple. Grab one for a quick bite.
Bodega cats are common. They take care of the rodents ...
Don't forget your lottery tickets!

Well Winnie I half expected Columbo or Kojak to be amongst these food isles .... so authentic and perfectly staged everything was. Outside was so cool with the fast moving downtown traffic and the trashcan and fire escape where such great details. You styled your Bodega beautifully from the striped awning outside to the store cat washing his whiskers and the newspapers stacked inside. Such a charming design that made my heart sing... so very well done my friend Bravoxxx

Oh man!!! What can I say about a design so authentic and real as if I was in that Bodega in NY right now!! The building was done with such care and attention to detail and fitted in with the surroundings so perfectly! Loved all the hustle and bustle of the city life coming in with the yellow cabs driving around! And then you enter the Bodega and find yourself in a real corner cafe where you could buy all the necessary supplies in one go!! This is a highly accomplished design and I'm truly impressed by all the thought and care that went into it!
