Bodega: An Urban Legend
On a side street near the Christian Science Plaza, students wander about trying to find Bodega is on Clearway Street, but it has no sign, so you definitely need to know what you are looking for.
A bodega is a small Latino convenience store that sells things like candy, cigarettes, and milk. The small rundown storefront that is Bodega is just that- a front. The Bodega experience is behind the Snapple vending machine which slides open to reveal a high-end streetwear boutique.
Bodega sells trendy clothing, accessories, and some vintage stuff, but the store is really mostly about sneakers. Limited edition Nikes and Pumas and dual label exclusives with Reebok and Adidas are all part of the mix. The merchandise is pricey, the selection definitely skews towards the guys, and the staff is actually quite nice. And yes, you can buy the sundries from the front of the store too.
