While it was not clear which store was featured in the video and where it was located, several Twitter users were quick to argue that the location was a regular convenience store, mocking Yang for allegedly not knowing which businesses are bodegas. New York City loves its bodegas! The 14,000 bodegas are vital to our city – let’s support them and keep them open. “Can you imagine a New York City without bodegas? I can’t imagine it, let’s not have to.” “We’ve got to make sure that they continue to stay open and do their thing,” he says while paying for his items.
