The Virtual Bodega. →
nervousacid:
The most interesting thing out of the New York Times Sunday edition this morning by far: Two Brooklyn twentysomethings are banking on the idea that — in spite of the ubiquity of corner stores in New York — there is a void for an online bodega that delivers. So they made one:
