Bodega location, shoot locations in general

[benjamincanfly]

Does anyone know of a corner store/deli/etc. with a proprietor friendly to the idea of video shoots?

Second question, any advice on convincing someone you don't know to let you shoot a sketch in their establishment? Does it help to have a business card, i.d. badge, a "press" slip in your fedora? Tips appreciated.

I've had good luck paper-clipping a business card to sheet of paper with info about the shoot and the production company.
