13. I'm almost never over by 31 St/3rd Av.... Unless I'm really tired I can deal w the lines....

I still deal with them when I'm extra tired but then I feel annoyed.
Rarely by Ave A, either.

There's on one Columbus Ave in the 90's, which I went to 2x - 3xs during Covid because it was the closest I could get to by bus. I discovered marzipan cheese there. Nice store. Didn't want to take the subway during covid. I rarely took the bus anyway during that time unless I really needed to, or more rarely wanted (vs need) to.

There's a TJ in Harlem on 125th St that I want to check out. It would now be the closest to me. Sometime this Spring, becsuse there also about 2-3 blocks west of the TJ is a Blick Art store which I've been in several times now. That Blick is the closest to me.

Sigh, if they only put one on Fordam Road west of Fordam University! I'd be sooo happy!
I don't have much extra money now, but I love their pretzel bread, the chocolate granola which I sometimes added their feeeze dried strawberries, or raspberries to, Indian food heat up pouches, blue cheese dressing, chocolate covered almonds, a crisped cheese snack, and several more things. I used to be able to buy almost all of that and more at one time. Make 2-3 trips a month, but now I'd have to pick 2 or 3 items/month. Ah well, better than nothing!

I also did shop at Westside Market, Whole Foods, and Fairways!
