Manhattan’s First Trader Joe’s


Opening weekend

Michelle and I have been waiting a long, long, long, long time for this to happen. Trader Joe’s opened its first Manhattan store. Unfortunately a ton of other Manhattanites were also waiting to be graced by the wonders of Trader Joe’s. Look closely at the picture and you can see the line people waiting to get into the store. It’s at least 300 feet long. It’s like going to Disneyland and waiting in line for Space Mountain, except it’s a super cheap ride that’s designed specifically for your palate. Michelle was so excited, that she hit the new TJ’s at 9 am the morning it opened for business. Evan and Suzy missed TJ’s so much, that they insisted that we visit the store when they were in town. TJ’s is here. I can’t wait until they open another ten. Then maybe it will be a close to a normal shopping experience.
