Yeah think I mentioned Philly earlier a lot. I have a few near me in Baltimore, they even sell whole Latin breakfast, pupusas and all that.

I got great $4 cheesesteaks at this one on Dickinson street in Point Breeze. Are they open late in Philly? They’re done by 10 in Boston.


Here’s a weird one in Boston “Grove Hall Convenience Restaurant” so littery, groceries and full restaurant? Or is it just fried chicken and empanadas?https://goo.gl/maps/xNgrZnMUvmHkS2vR7

How'd you know to stop by the papi's for a cheesesteak? You sound like a local lol. Ask any black/hispanic native where's the best spots and they'll tell you to go there.


I can't speak for the entire city, but the ones up in the Oaklane and Olney areas usually close at 9.

Bro the hood is universal.

I grew up in a city with bodegas, doesn’t matter if it was Philly or not. I also been going to Philly NYC Trenton etc since birth. I’ve gone with my dad, cousins, friends. My ex had a friend on Dickinson street. She told me they were solid. Maybe a little dry, but good flavor and neat (thank god) I wasn’t in the mood for hella grease. I’ve actually gone there 2/3 times. TBH Genos is pretty damn good- tourist trap or not. I been to like Abners and some other notable. But if I’m just in a rush in Philly for whatever reasons (I planned my baby shower there in North Philly lol) I’ll stop into a bodega. bodega doesn’t have cheese whiz though.

They usually owned by Arabs in Syracuse and are called corner stores.

I’ll stop there, but that is just on the North Side of the city, which has quite a few more.

I agree. Chicago.

Do all bodegas have delis or serve hot food? To me that's the distinction between a corner store and a bodega type store.

In Minneapolis this is just a corner store.

But right across the street is a Somali store that serves hot foods like gyros and is more bodega like.
