Represent the cultural significance and history of bodegas in NYC with our latest collection of t-shirts, tote bags, stickers, soft-enamel pins, and more. This collection is inspired by the legacy of Photographer Justo Ambrosio Martí and reinterprets vintage photographs from his collection preserved in the CENTRO’s Archives while also celebrating the impact of bodegas in New York City today.
