Every Single Bodega in Manhattan, Photographed
Artist Gail Victoria Braddock Quagliata walked the whole borough to document each instance of this cultural institution.
When Gail Victoria Braddock Quagliata was a student teacher at an art education program in the Lower East Side, she had a long walk from the subway station to school. To keep herself from becoming bored, she would explore a different route everyday. And everyday, she would go to a different bodega and try the coffee.
It was a simple routine, a daily hunt for the cheapest and best caffeine near school. But as the weeks passed, Quagliata began to take note of a distressing trend.
