Happy Thanksgiving!

Last night our buddy, Whitney, invited me to go watch the balloons for Macy's Thanksgiving Parade getting inflated. We got to 77th street about 8pm, and discovered that we were far from the only ones that wanted to have a look. And for once, there was a line that was more intimidating that the Shake Shack line (which happens to have opened a new shop on the corner of where all the balloons were lined up)We took deep breaths and decided that since we're already there, we might as well get in line. Luckily, unlike 90% of the viewers, we didn't have any stroller or kids, so we managed to elbow ourselves through the crowds in less than 30mins.

Friendly Joe finally opened in BK

I've been keeping up with the opening of Trader Joe's new store in Brooklyn and been planning a trip there all weekend. Today I hopped on a bus which takes me literally from outside my house to right outside Joe's new house in a matter of minutes!
The store is set in the old Independence Bank building and looks as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. It's big, open and bright due to the high high ceilings and enormous windows. At first glance it was pretty busy, but at the same time I was left with plenty of personal space around my cart. The deals were great and I picked up a bunch of mouth watering goodness I've always wanted to try out but never bothered to stand in line at the Union Sq. location for.

The infamous "End of Line" barely reached around the corner from the registers! I didn't even stand still with my cart in the line, it was a steady and comfortable pace all the way.
Tony kindly asked me to not take any pictures of the store and I obliged. After all, he agreed to let me snap one of him in his Hawaiian shirt before tucking my camera away.
108,62 dollars spent and about 17 meals planned out in my head already. Thanks, Joe!
