¡La familia Antigua Sánchez celebra hoy su 11º aniversario de matrimonio! Lo cual ha sido hecho posible por su Señor y Salvador…Jesucristo.

Maricarmen y Neal comparten su amor por la familia y sus raíces dominicanas, sirviendo con orgullo a la comunidad y continuando el legado familiar. Hacen lo que les apasiona: tener un rinconcito de Quisqueya en Jersey City donde todos se sientan como en casa, sirviendo la mejor comida, esa que siempre te pone una sonrisa en la cara.

At @labodegajc , the sound of dominoes hitting the table means more than just a game. It means tradition, memories, and a sense of home. 🇩🇴🎴

“It’s something that you grow up around, either your uncle, your cousin, somebody playing dominoes in the Dominican Republic,” said Neal Antigua, one of the restaurant’s owners.

La Bodega first opened in 1995 as Maricarmen Supermarket. In 2023, Maricarmen Antigua and her husband, Neal Antigua, took over the business with a mission to preserve Dominican culture and continue the legacy of her grandparents and father, who previously owned it.

Today, La Bodega is more than a restaurant. It’s a gathering place where Dominican culture lives on through its decorations, music, food, and vibrant atmosphere. And, of course, through dominoes.

For many, the game is a connection to their roots.

“Uno se siente como si estuviera en su país,” said Ramón Torres, a customer who plays dominoes at La Bodega.

Just as dominoes are commonly played outside homes and grocery stores, known as “colmados,” in the Dominican Republic, the same tradition continues outside La Bodega.

“My father-in-law and old-timers and old friends, and even customers as well, they come here, they grab the dominoes table, and they just sit outside, and it reminds them of the good old days,” Antigua shared.

Those casual gatherings to play dominoes eventually inspired the owners to take things a step further. Last year, La Bodega partnered with @madeinjerseycc to bring dominoes tournaments to the community.

They were looking for another way to bring people together, and the opportunity came at just the right time.

On October 10, they hosted their second tournament, offering a friendly space not only for level players, but also those who just wanted to spend a good time.

At La Bodega, it’s all about building community and meaningful relationships. And one of the most rewarding parts for the owners is seeing that love and support returned by the people who walk through their doors.

“Definitely makes you feel good to see other people enjoying the space… something that you’re a part of makes you feel good,” said Neal Antigua.
