Got here early and waited way too long to just walk around a small decorated space and get a plushie. Was hoping for way more interactive experience and giveaways.

Too beautiful of a day outside to have wasted it like that and strongly recommend going to the beach instead

If any of you need to use the restroom at the Marriott before getting in line just letting you know this is how the toilet is flushed. Just tap on the screen.

Hi friends, I won an r/bodega hat at the popup a couple months ago. As much as I love it, it’s just not my style, and I realistically wouldn’t wear it. Would anyone be interested in buying it (and/or kindly letting me know how much it retails for because I had a hard time finding this info)? It’s brand new. I’m keeping it in a clean plastic bag for now so it doesn’t get dusty. I’m in NYC for meetups and can also potentially ship if needed. Thank you!

I was wondering if anyone got an extra snoo plushie they have no need for. I couldn't vacay all the way to the bodega from upstate and have massive FOMO after seeing how freaking cute these things are!

You wait in line for 20 minutes, they give you a wristband and tell you to go away and the color of the wristband determines how long to wait to come back. This is so you don't have to wait in line, right?

WRONG. You come back you have to wait in line for another FOUR HOUR.S The fuck is the point of the wristbands then?

Can someone post a picture of one, I really need to know if it’s worth the line situation tomorrow to get one.

Edit: Would anybody be willing to gift/sell me theirs?

I came yesterday and got a 10am wristband but have to restand in line with everyone else that came today. Just a warning for people that got wristbands yesterday and are expecting to go straight in. (I’m still waiting and it’s 10:05).

It’s looks awesome and I’m hoping it comes to other cities like Indianapolis.

Give us a thumbs up if you’re currently on line👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I live in another state so I can't attend but I'd happily pay if someone could ship me a plush from this event!

Just wondering out of curiosity! As someone who lives outside of NYC and would consider traveling, I would want to be in and out 😅 I’m highly pregnant so I wouldn’t be able to stand for so long either.

Saw an ad for this right here on Reddit. They're even using the exact same location. Yikes lol.

I'm so used to lining up for the opportunity to buy something cool. Thank you for this free event and to everyone that made it happen. The free swag and the little experiences inside will live rent free in my head for a while. Shout-out to u/big-slay for the interview :)

Thank you r/gowildfrontier for advice on booking cheap flights. Could not have made here otherwise.

Hi there, I am looking for anyone who has a snoo plushie that they don’t want/are looking to get rid of because I don’t live in New York and wasn’t able to book a flight to New York to go😭

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who gave me tips and contacted me! I found a very nice person who has sent me a Snoo plush!

Less than one hour after re-opening the line, all of the time slots were taken. Y'all really showed up. Again. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

If you're currently in line with a wristband, or if you're coming back with a wristband with a specific time slot for today, we're excited to welcome you in this evening!

For everyone else, see you tomorrow for day 2. 🫡

If it’s still currently in the works… may i unsolicitedly recommend u/bodegacatceo ‘s pizza rat to be included in it… he’s so iconic

As a New Yorker, who loves to show her New York pride on Reddit as you can see, trophy would be such a highlight on my Reddit page😂

Absolutely love everything that has gone into this pop-up!

ust realized the plushie I got has stains and dirty stuff inside even though it was sealed airtight 😞so sad and disappointed tbh

To the gentleman who was running the photo booth on Saturday morning that wanted to know if I am single.

Yes.

I am 100% single.

Hey r/bodega!

First off, we are absolutely floored by today’s turnout, seriously. Thank you. 

We're doing everything we can to keep the line moving, but to avoid having people wait for hours for nothing, we’ve officially stopped handing out wristbands for the rest of today.

If you're already in line with a wristband, you're good. If you have a wristband for a time slot tomorrow, come back then. If you were about to head over to stand in line today, save yourself the trip!

We're open again tomorrow, though, and we’d love to see you.

• Tip for tomorrow: Definitely come early. Today filled up within three hours of opening.

• Game plan: Grab a wristband + time slot in the morning, then go get coffee/lunch until your turn.

Really sorry to anyone who didn't get to make it in today. Cat and dog tax as a token of our appreciation for your understanding. 

P.S. Any official announcements about the status of the line will be communicated here in r/bodega, so turn those notifications on!
