What does BODEGA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small shop selling groceries and everyday goods, especially in a Spanish-speaking neighbourhood; originally a Spanish wine cellar or wine shop.
In Spain and Latin America a bodega is a wine store or the cellar where wine is stored and sold. In American cities, above all New York, the word came to mean the corner shop open late that sells snacks, newspapers and sandwiches, and often has a resident cat. The borrowed Spanish word brings a sense of neighbourhood familiarity that terms like convenience store lack.
