As some of you know, I’m not the best at leaving Manhattan. Or leaving the apartment for that matter. So where to go when you haven’t left Manhattan for a year? Mitsuwa, of course, in Edgewater, New Jersey. It’s a gigantic Japanese grocery store. All we had to do was catch a shuttle from the Port Authority.
The view across the Hudson from Mitsuwa’s cafeteria – lots of great stands to order from. The second first building to the right of the lamp post is Grant’s tomb.
And toys!
And toilet seats to make you tingle:
And a wide array of New Years treats.
Tomorrow? The ham.
Did you need a passport? Did you remember to make sure your shots were up to date? Jersey’s a dangerous place.
@Benedick: we last went there 7 years ago or so, and it is astonishing how much development has occurred along that stretch. Townhouses and condos – oh my!
@blogenfreude: As far as development goes, 7 years in Jersey is like 7 months in Manhattan. Every time I go there everything has either been pulled down or is about to be pulled down, or has been pulled down and replaced with a Wholefoods.
¡Feliz Navidad, Stinqueros!
メリー クリスマス!
Gleðileg jól!
Christmas dilemma: when we go out for dim sum tomorrow, what can Number One Daughter’s gluten-intolerant husband order? To the extent that one orders anything, with the serving cart staff slamming plates down on the table and pretending not to hear you.
@Dodgerblue: Steamed broccoli? Tell him to man up and take a Pepcid before dinner.
@blogenfreude: No “M’s: Pop Life” merch?
If you’re not already familiar, ask the GF. She may blush, but she’ll know it. Life sized everything, and browsing without actually buying seems to be encouraged.
@Dodgerblue: Don’t they serve soup with rice noodles? Is there gluten in rice noodles? How about chicken feet?
I’m having trouble remembering exactly what is on the menu at a DimSum place, even though I’ve been hundreds of times. I’m usually distracted by, um, something when I am at a good one…
@Dodgerblue: You’re going traditional? That’s so heartwarming. We’re having a Christmas Arctic char.
