Shopping!

I am trying to keep one day a week free from study as a chill-out-discover-new-york-live-it-up day. Yesterday I succeeded, and I went shopping because I thought this would be a good way to discover New York. The highlight of this trip was the Strand Bookshop on the corner of 12th and Broadway. This place is a huge and magic collection of new and second hand books. It was humming with people. Came out of it with a handful of books on New York and the feeling that I had really seen something


In addition to bookstores, New York has the most amazing collections of delis. Many of them are open all night, and they offer a great variety of things like cheese and turkey meat ... or in this case, live crabs.
