Hey everyone! u/big-slay here from the Reddit Community Events Team.

I’m stoked to share that we’re launching Reddit’s first-ever Community Pop-Up this summer: r/bodega! 

Hitting NYC from August 29–30, this is a fully immersive, experiential build designed like a classic corner store to celebrate the beauty, diversity, and culture of Reddit communities.

Because r/bodegacats is such a vibrant, iconic, and essential part of the NYC <> Reddit ecosystem, we want to feature you inside the build! We’re also inviting alllllll members of this community to attend the event, so save the date!

Our Plan 🐈

We’re creating a dedicated r/bodegacats section inside the build. Right now, the blueprint includes:

• A cozy bodega cat setup (cat bed, toys, and a fake cat – for safety/comfort reasons!)
• A "paws-on" adoption wall featuring posters of actual adoptable cats from shelters around the city.
• Plenty of photo ops.

Your Ideas 💡 

This is where you come in. How else should we bring r/bodegacats to life? We want this to feel authentic to the sub.

• Should we have a digital screen cycling through the top posts of all time?
• A "Guess that Cat's Name" game based on classic bodega snacks?
• Highlight specific stories, memes, or moments from the community?

Drop your wildest, fun, or most wholesome ideas in the comments below!

My team and I really want to do this sub justice, so please let us know what you think and leave your suggestions no matter how wild they may seem. Looking forward to building this bodega with you all!

The Project 📖

We’d love to work directly with you, the members of r/zines, to create an exclusive zine specifically for the bodega event.

Your Participation 💡 

We want this to feel authentic to the sub, so we’re asking for your participation in whatever way works best for you. Some ideas:

• Tell us what you would or would not want to see in the zine
• Share stories, moments, or memories from this community
• Drop artwork we should include that deserves a few thousand sets of eyes 
• Link us to some of your favorite custom zines
• And honestly, anything else that comes to mind
