Gourmet grocery, lots of kosher. Upper West Side institution.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What is even happening?
I think we did a case study on them in a marketing class. I know the name anyhow, but are they also really good at maximizing shop space. I am pretty sure it was some famous NY Deli we studied.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Trudy, one thing you can have on hand for her? Either Ben and Jerrys or Breyers ice cream. Both are acceptable kosher and she adored them.
Have plastic cutlery and keep the ice cream ONLY for her - that way, there's no chance of unkoshering. And watching her face when dipped into Breyer's vanilla bean? Oh, my.

Nilly had a pretty picture perfect day here, weather wise, anyhow (I'll wait for touristy reports). It was 72 and sunny, with no humidity. In fact, I hope it wasn't too cool for her.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I also learned from Nilly that all Coca-cola products (or at least those sold in cans or bottles) are kosher, even if they are not labelled as such. Nilly did drink one diet coke while she was staying with me, but water is very much her drink of choice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Trudy, you can always go into the kosher grocery on Broadway around 91st and just ask for recs of a couple of things.

FWIW, both Poland Spring and Crystal Geyser bottled water are kosher (labeled with the OU symbol), if the NYC tap water thing is an issue. (I'm guessing that most American* bottled waters are kosher, those two brands just happen to be the ones I have on my desk.)
*Since Americans prefer their bottled water to be filtered and purified out the wazoo, while Europeans prefer to be able to taste the local minerals and microscopic critters.

Jess, the Crystal Geyser and Calistoga were both certified by Nilly herself as OK, and she drank a lot of it. Wise girl; there's nothing better for you than good clean water.
