Title: The Essentials
Description: According to Merriam-Webster, Underdog, un•der•dog (noun) is defined as: 1. A loser or predicted loser in a struggle or contest./ NYC is one of the few cities where mom-and-pop shops can still compete against the big box stores that have turned the country into a never ending strip mall. Bodegas are not only a staple of this grand city, but they also serve as a landmark to reassure you that you're almost home. With a pandemic waging war on the economy, the scales are tipped even further in Goliath's favor. This is the face of a local 'David'. He sits at the entrance of his bodega in my Queens neighborhood, surrounded by homemade precaution signs, braving danger for his livelihood clutching onto a fading remnant of a community many call home. #supportlocaIbusinesses Photo taken in Woodside, Queens
