I live a few blocks from this corner bodega. It is family-run by a father and his two sons. And although in New York these are a dime a dozen, I like this one because they are friendly and like to strike up a coversation. And sometimes that is really what you need.
One morning, I was feeling particularly down and needed a fix. I trotted over to the bodega to get my fix and the son's owner chatted me up. He was really nice and even offered me a nice hot cup of coffee, on the house. I was speechless. He didn't know it, but he brightened my day.
Sometimes it is the small things in life that matter. And even though there is another bodega (more up-scale) next door, J and J now has my loyalty.
Thanks for making my day. That personal touch is priceless.
