Was making small talk to the man at my bodega at 93rd and Broadway last night. They tore down the Europan next door and are fixing to built a tall apartment or condo. I miss the Europan. But I said “well you guys will be getting lots more business right?”
He said “that’s what people said when they built the apartment on the other side, but everyone gets everything from Amazon now.”
A bodega isn’t for considered shopping. There is a market a block down. The bodega is for walking back after dinner and realizing you need Pellegrino. I don’t get how Amazon impacts it. But it does.
I’ve two kids trying to sort out careers now (my son is back!!!) and I have no advice where to go that will have legs for 40 years.
