As a recent transplant from NYC, this is probably one of the hardest things to deal with for me. I'm not used to everything closing by 9/10pm except 7-11. The lack of food delivery options after you worked a 12 hr shift is painful. I've eaten a lot of ramen lately as I'm too tired to cook. Don't get me started on the very limited number of liquor stores that are open on Sunday. 😩

I’m from NY as well(state not city) and I was annoyed when I realized I couldn’t buy liquor in Target or CVS like I would in NY. smh

Hahaha! Not having any in the corner stores (these don't qualify as bodegas down here lol) or grocery stores has been a shocker, too.

💯😂. I miss the bodegas! When I used to party in the City there was the dollar pizza shops open at 3am/4am when the clubs closed and the halal trucks. I miss it 🥲

DOLLAR PIZZA! Omg I forgot that ever existed. And Papaya King near the W. 4th station. Oh and Benny's Burritos dollar margaritas. Ok I think it's time for me to move back. 😩

They seriously need to bring that back! I never went to Papaya King(I’ve passed by it though) and yessss @ Benny’s Burritos. Margaritas became my favorite drink because of that place. I miss NY too. I try to go back once a month

I’ve found my people! I’m an NYC transplant and I miss ordering food at even like 10pm and getting it delivered.
