MOST NOTABLE THING ABOUT EXPERIENCE: How freaking empty the store was. HEAVENLY. There were still two long lines, but they only extended to the vegetable section and took about 5 minutes instead of the usual 15-20.
MOST INTERESTING CONVERSATION:
This one’s a tie.
First, I had a long conversation with the check-out guy at Trader Joe’s who told me about all the free events happening in the city this summer. He also asked me about my weekend and acted impressed by the uniqueness of my answer that I’d gone to a professional ultimate Frisbee game on Coney Island, but then when I asked him about his weekend, it turned out he had gone to a ROOFTOP HOT-TUB MOVIE BAR over the weekend. Yes, that’s right. He and his friends watched a movie, from a hot tub, on a rooftop, with a bar, while around them other people did the same in their hot tubs. This happened, of course, in Brooklyn.
I also had Heather over for dinner. Heather is leaving the city soon, too, and she was telling me about how suddenly everything about the city seems amazing and awesome and it’s so bittersweet to leave, and I was like, ME, TOO!!! It was such a relief to be able to talk to someone who is also experiencing LNYS* and feeling all this pressure to make the most of this city which you can never really experience all of. I also cooked us kale chips and peanut thai tofu and we booked ourselves a room in a windmill to stay in while we visit Amsterdam in July. Best. Decision. Ever.
