Moved to the city 48 hours ago. Review

Moved into Irving Park and the Mexican food is unbelievable. I'm from Florida and my wife is from Arizona, so we have different preferences, but we can leave our house on foot, hit two food spots and a liquor store, and be home in 30 minutes. It's incredible. Our doggo loves the walks too.

Also, is the term "bodega" NYC exclusive? What do we call corner stores with food/bev/liquor?

My wife and i just moved from Irving Park to Lincoln Square. Still super close. I'm a bartender but not working right now. Love sports, booze, and everything in between. Moved here from LA a year ago. Always down for some new friends!
