Shopping Fever!
On Monday, before we left New York, my son and I had lunch on the Upper West Side. Our plan was to walk from there across Central Park, get on the subway one last time, collect our bags from the hotel, and head to the airport. Seeking to delay the inevitable as long as I could, I suggested we take a spin through Zabar's, the fantastic food market and housewares store. Good sport that he is, he agreed.

The two purchases would have complimented each other quite well. I love coffee and chocolate together. The only thing better is chocolate and wine.
ReplyDeleteZabar's coffee is so good! I order it and have it sent here in Cali.
