A magical moment in my life is going to Bodega in Boston for the first time. I think about it often.

Bodega in the front, shoe store in the back.

The drink machine in the corner of the first picture is a door that goes to the shoe store.

The storefront has zero indication that it is a shoe store. It’s a 5min walk from
Boston’s main shopping street. 

Close enough that it gets enough foot traffic, far enough that it doesn’t attract to many tourists. 

The perfect iykyk type place.

ya thats part of the idea:

a retro computer/video game storefront & entrance with a back that is art/coffee shop/speakeasy

i am a sucker for a good speakeasy (whether actual bar or not lol)

Ya opened up a spot in LA too
