You’d think that with Issey Miyake a couple of blocks away and Soho a hop, skip, and a jump from our door, I’d be all OVER the shopping here in New York City. Well, usually I’m happier sniffing around the City’s greenmarkets or finding a flea market or vintage store on our side trips to the ‘burbs. Shopping for my mini-chef classes is done twice-weekly at the market on Greenwich, picking up whatever is in season and delicious.
The exception to my slight shopping aversion is getting to shop for somebody else. Over the weekend, the
Tribeca Film Festival Family Day was right outside our door, and we did a leeeeeeeetle bit of shopping… for you. With little stops along the way to play catch with the bored-till-we-came-along- Po-Po and to get hugs from giant three-eyed puppet monsters, we picked up a little treat.
There are two tickets up for grabs to
Taste of Tribeca on May 16th. Leave a comment here
and let me know that you would like to be included in the lottery. If you would like a double chance at eating crazy-good food in my hood, blog about this contest, and post the link in the comments here. For those of you without a Google account or a blog, send me an email: tribecayummymummy@gmail.com to be included. Tell your New York friends to check it out. Entries will be taken until May 13th at 10 PM. Winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
We also picked up a Fortune Teller Fish while shopping in the East Village last weekend, so I’ll be envisioning a winner and consulting the Fish before the electronic generator does it’s (less?) mysterious magic.
And, now go do some window shopping around the world:

It’s been so long since I’ve seen one of those fish. I had forgotten all about them. I can’t wait to hear what it tells you! Fun!

It’s nice to see how you can find farmers markets in big cities: it makes me wonder whether you have the best of both worlds now …

Thank goodness for Spring! Count me in for the tix give-away.
As you know, I check your blog regularly for ideas for my girls. I loved the bit on parfaits – Yasmeen isn’t so keen on them yet, but Layla has a blast making and eating parfaits. I think we might do that fish tonight.
