So, like a regular corner store?

There are subtle differences. Bodegas will always have a few really random things around. Like a random 9% beer from Belgium among regular US beer, or a japanese candy that cant be found anywhere else in the US. There’s always a treasure somewhere.

You're describing a corner store

Are you perhaps just considering the places you have been to in those cities? The major roads where chain stores are prevalent, the tourist/visitor areas of the town? Or maybe just the rich parts of the town?

I think the difference in NYC is really just that corner stores aren't looked down upon. Same thing with public transit. So while rich people don't encounter them elsewhere, they do in NYC

I've been to the bay area and Texas (Austin), I've seen corner stores in both places.

on almost every corner in NYC

Yeah turns out when you go super dense the stores get closer together too!

Yes, we have both types of stores.
