notwithstanding the foregoing
girly-type in nyc. likes bright colors and shiny things. works in off-broadway theater, and thinks about it often. also slightly obsessed with television, music, feminism, knitting, politics. and hello kitty.
Cool place of this last weekend: Mitsuwa. It’s Japanese grocery with a food court in Arlington Heights.
There’s also one in Edgewater, New Jersey (sandwiched, sorta, between Fort Lee and Weehawken) and right near a Trader Joe’s. I find it neat that there are only seven of them in the entire United States and that one’s right here in the NYC metro area.
And there’s a shuttle bus from Port Authority! (I find the fact that stores in Jersey and Long Island regularly do this hilarious.) Of course, it looks like some store hopping to places like Kinokuniya and Takashimaya in Manhattan could get you most of the stuff they have. But then it’s not an excursion!
