The interior of some stores we went into were awe inspiring. My favourites were Longchamp in the East Village (the giant winding staircase is unreal) and ABC Home and Carpet on Broadway (a giant Aladin's cave of furniture, jewellery and more). I also loved the supermakets. It was as if each one had a theme. 'Trader Joe's' was tropical and another was rammed full of Dinosaurs. Other's had paper mache turkey's hidden away from cereal boxes (well, it was Thanks Giving after all!) and scarecrows staring down on you as you choose your cereal. A great store we found was called 'Toy Tokyo'. It is a tiny shop hidden away in the East Village full of collectables like Ron English's Ronald McDonald and Charlie Brown figures. A real treasure chest. Dogs were displayed as toys, barking and shaking in plastic cages stacked on top of eachother. 'Pets on Lex' in Lexington Avenue, displayed Poms, Chihauhas, Dalmations, Persians and much more. We often went in, especially if it was raining, to coo at the poor animals, despite the fact that the way they're bread are illegal and cruel. But everyone loves a cute puppy, right?
