When we started the site we didn't know the first thing about streetwear or sneakers or the boutiques that carry such wares. Admittedly, we don't know that much more now but what we do know is that time and time again the most clever and ambitious retails concepts come from the streetwear/sneaker world. The lastest such venture is Bodega which online mag Freshness did a feature on last week.
The concept is this: the front of the store consists of a fully stocked bodega, the likes of which are on every street corner in the east. When you're done stocking up on Tide, Lays and Snickers, move on to a lavishly outfitted sneaker and streetwear shop with everything from vintage Nikes, to the latest from JB Classics, to shirts from Anything.
Thanks to a quick user submission, we added Bodega to the guide today. Remember, we don't add a store to the guide unless either a) we've seen it in person or b) someone who has seen it in person reports back to us. So if you know of a great store that ought to be in the guide/on the map submit it here.
