So It’s My Birthday …
What did I do? Went to Zabar’s housewares, of course:

Zabar’s housewares has many overpriced kitchen items for Manhattanites who don’t know how to use Amazon (sorry for wide angle, forgot to reset Hero 2).
I have become partial to overpriced German food containers, so had to have 2 of those:

Pretty jars!

Even the stairwell is crammed with overpriced crap:

So my haul was 2 overpriced food containers, twelve bucks worth of rubbery floppy ice cube trays that make “perfect” ice cubes, and a Zabar’s mug (still a buck). Happy birthday to me.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your loot.
Happy birthday! The camera lens made me feel like I was drunk or under water. Or both.
@SanFranLefty: Hero 2 camera a blessing and a curse … my NYears resolution is to learn how to use it in a useful way, to document shit.
Joyeux Anniversaire Mon Vieux!
Happy birthday!
I was going to suggest a fish poacher. But you probably have one already. Happy B’day.
