NYC Bagels Are For Real

This morning we got up early and started getting our weekend tasks done - taking out the garbage and recyclable materials. Unfortunately, the NYC Department of Sanitation never showed up!

We finally tried out some NYC bagels (or is that like calling food "Chinese Food" in China?) at La Bagel Delight. The bagels were tasty but the setup for placing orders and paying for your bagels was inefficient and confusing. Thankfully, the bagels were well worth the hassle as they were flavorful and not that expensive - we got two plain bagels and cream cheese for under $4.

Later in the day, we finally explored Atlantic Terminal Mall, home of Target and other budget-conscious stores like DSW, Daffy's, and Old Navy. We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and orderliness of the store and will definitely be making return visits to Target. For all the independent charm of Park Slope, it's also nice to have a slice of suburbia close by with a chain store like Target.

We also checked out Union Market on the corner of 6th and Union. It's a really cool neighborhood gourmet food market in the vein of Whole Foods. I think we'll be back there for sure.
