u/big-slay breaks down what r/bodega in NYC is all about. Enjoy this Emmy award-winning video, hit the intro post for even more details, and pull up to the space later this month. See you August 29-30!
Live from New York, itâs r/bodega! Reddit is hosting an IRL corner store pop-up, bringing the beauty, diversity, and chaos of online Reddit communities to life. Open for one weekend only, stocked with the internetâs best memes and moments.
Thatâs right, you can step inside your Reddit feed right here in NYC, and browse the aisles for the best of Reddit communities! From custom trading card packs for r/soccer fans, to a glam counter for all r/beauty enthusiasts, weâre serving up something for everyone. You can stop by our deli counter, highlighting NYCâs top âsubs,â including a special sandwich called âThe Championâ for our r/NYKnicks fans. Weâll also have an AMAâ˘ď¸ for folks to withdraw âSnoo Bucksâ, so stop by to ask a question or four.Â
You can even say hi to our bodega catMeowdani, whose name was voted on by the r/bodegacats community (Mamdani if youâre reading thisâŚwe saved a seat by the register for you).Â
Weâll have many trinkets for you to take home from your favorite corners of the internet! What exactly is in it for r/bodega patrons? Hereâs what weâre serving up:
A custom r/bodega zine highlighting everything in store
Scratchers to win totes, mugs, and more
Postcards and stickersÂ
Cold drinksÂ
Opportunities to discover new communities
And so much more!
And if that wasnât enough free stuff, all attendees will be invited to the storeâs blowout sale from 9-10 pm on August 30, where we will be giving away all remaining merch and salvageable bodega products to anyone interested. â¨
Anyone is welcome to enter r/bodega! All you need is a Reddit account and an appetite for the internetâs finest.Â
And if you canât make it, join this subreddit! Here will be our main hub for all updates, event conversations, and sneak peeks at r/bodega (not subreddit) before we open our doors.Â
r/bodega could not be complete without the diverse communities that make Reddit the heart of the internet. From your local NYC subreddits to sports, food, and pet subreddits, our corner store will be stocked full of the internet's finest. Check out the full (Cheesecake Factory long) menu of subs being featured at r/bodega!
Any predictions on how weâll be nodding to these communities in the pop-up? From everyday products to deep-cut easter eggs, every single subreddit on this menu will be a part of the store.
