Bodega NYC

Bodega is the corner store for whatever's happening on your block — a friendly, hyper-local feed built for New York neighborhoods. No name, no email, no sign-up. Open the app, pick your neighborhood — Long Island City, Astoria, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Sunnyside, the East Village — and see what your neighbors are talking about right now. WHAT'S ON THE BLOCK • A live neighborhood feed — sort by Loud (what's popular), Fresh (newest), or Top (all-time) • Helpful, human updates: "Why are there fire trucks on Vernon?" "New coffee spot under the bridge is great." "Found keys on 46th Ave — left them at the deli." • Threaded replies so conversations actually go somewhere • Up and down votes, plus karma when neighbors appreciate what you share • Photo posts — snap it or pick from your library • Channels to tag your post — Happening, Good news, Food, Transit, Meetup, Lost & found, For sale • Distance labels ("230 m away") so you know how close it all is PRIVATE BY DESIGN Bodega never asks for your name, email, or phone number. You get a friendly random handle, and your exact location is never shared — it's only used to suggest your neighborhood and show roughly how far away a post is. Save a recovery code to move your account to a new phone, and delete your account and data any time. KIND BY DESIGN It's a small neighborhood, and Bodega is built to keep it welcoming: every photo is automatically screened, a language filter blocks abuse before it posts, posting is rate-limited, neighbors can report or block anyone with a tap, and reports are reviewed quickly. Everyone agrees to zero-tolerance community rules when they join. Don't see your neighborhood yet? Request it in the app — new hubs open where neighbors are asking. Made for Long Island City, built for every block.
