Reply to comment by TimeTraveler420 in TIL the way NYC has bodegas, Australia has milk bars. Modeled initially on American soda fountains, they’ve been on the decline since the 70s due to competition from supermarkets by idiomaddict
It really depends on what neighborhood you’re in. If you’re in Williamsburg and go to Sunac, then yeah — you’re gonna probably pay $6 for a bottle of Natalie’s.
Most bodegas are a lot less fancy. Get a chopped cheese, a loosey, a small coffee, and pet the bodega cat. That kind of thing.

I was actually staying in Williamsburg when I came to this revelation. NYC is expensive in general.

Yep, it really is but it’s usually worth it.
Fancy “organic” bodegas in places like Williamsburg are a different animal than the usual ones you see in other neighborhoods.
