I was just at the Harrods food hall last Sunday MM, and yes you’re right, it was teeming with people and lovely displays! I even got lost twice! they have many more fresh fruits and veg this time than the last, and yes bags of goodies to goodies. Mouthwatering pastries to chocolates! It was my husband’s birthday so we had some cakes and cupcakes, rather very expensive ones, but we thought we should treat ourselves once in a while. LOL! Have a happy holiday in advance MM to you and your household! :)

A geekier crown should have taken over with the opening of the Apple store in the same block. My oasis from the crowd and the cold, the Steuben store, is gone too, so was the Barnes & Noble. Anyway, I always recommend to visitors to NYC at this time of the year the Neapolitan Crèche at the Metropolitan and the medieval tapestries at the Cloisters. For first time visitors, there’s always the Rockettes’ at the Radio City Music Hall to take in and the treats at the Maison du Chocolat to sample, just around the corner at the back of the great Christmas tree and the skating rink.

ami, yes, I have to agree that those Japanese food halls are spectacular as well.

We had the exact LP at home and we must have
worn this particular tract out. The young ones
of course wonder now why one had to buy
the full album when really, only one tract is
desired.

It’s a food lovers paradise comprising of ingredients, produce, meats, ready to eat meals (both western and Asian cuisine), desserts, breads, etc. On our most recent trip, we managed to buy Maisen Tonkatsu and Pierre Herme macarons among others from 2 adjacent depachikas.

Late welcome greetings for MM and Family. Can’t wait for your Thanksgiving photos here in NYC.

Ackkk, Footloose. Also a folklore with the siopaos.

In the news, on-line shopping fared very well. The prices are good, some don’t charge taxes. No fighting over parking, no long lines, and you save on gas. One can do it anywhere, too.
