The Zereps

Candice and I had a pretty busy day today… She’s on the lookout for a new pair of shoes, so we went to a couple places around Manhattan looking for that perfect pair. One of the places we went to is called MooShoes, which specialized in ‘vegan’ (leather alternative) shoes. I think their slogan should be “…because dead cows don’t go ‘moo’.” ;)  Anyway. After walking all around downtown and midtown, we had dinner at Havana Central in Union Square–a Cuban restaurant with pretty authentic food. And finally, we decided to poke our heads into the one, the only, the brand-new Trader Joes just outside of Union Square (i.e. very close to my work.) OK. So, there may be thousands of them in Northern California, but this one just opened yesterday and is the only one in New York City. Let me tell you one thing, though–we didn’t even make it in the door. That’s right. There was a line outside half-way down the block! They were limiting the number of people in the store and trickling them in ten at a time every 5 minutes or so. We heard these two guys outside: “You mean people are standing in line to get into a supermarket?”  There’s been a “Whole Foods” in Union Square for quite a few years, but they’re rather pricey. I think Trader Joes will give them a nice run for their money.

Have a great weekend everybody!
