Enjoy These Photos of the Time We Invaded the Personal Space of an L Mag Contest Winner

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 4:53 PM

Soooo... Some of you may remember our Best Bodega in NYC Contest. I know I do (professionally, I've been required to remember it). The winner of this contest was On the Corner in Windsor Terrace, thanks to the heartfelt write-up by Ryan McManus. Well, as promised, Ryan received a week's supply of beer (from On the Corner, of course) hand-delivered to his boudoir. Truly, an awkward situation for all involved! Photo evidence of just that, after the jump:

NYCs Best Bodega can be a little intimidating.

This day would forever be Ryan McManuss happiest day. A fact that now makes him sad.

One of our reporters got a bad vibe from the look on Ryans face and refused to enter.

Nobody knows, said Ryan, proudly, About all the beer I didnt drink.

It was our photographer who suggested to the gentleman on the right that he knock his cap askew.

Ryan McManus was never heard from, nor seen, again.

I think that's too far west to be considered "Windsor Terrace". When I was a kid, we called it "Sunset Park".

Sunset Park doesn't start until 39th Street, IMO. This is either "South Slope" or Greenwood Heights.

Technically, this neighborhood is Wolf Hill, which extends between 22nd st at the north, 24th st at the south, 4th ave at the East and the bay at the west. It's a small but exclusive nabe.
