I hate NYC shopping...and getting around!

Sometimes I wish I lived on LI and had a car again. It's so frustrating living in NYC sometimes when you have a few errands and things to look for.

I want to go to the cleaners 83rd/2nd, then DSW (union square)...then Bloomies (59th/lex)...then Sharper Image (60's/Madison)...Petco (86th/lex)....Duane Reade (81st/2nd)...then to the gym by 5:45 (85th/3rd)

What if I can't find what I need at these places....ughh what a PITA!! I took today off to get this done! I Guess I better get going!

Re: I hate NYC shopping...and getting around!

I thought that also- till I moved back to long island

my life was so much easy in the city with no car- I miss walking , jumping in a cab or taking the subway

I used to drop the dry cleaning off on my way to work- then they would deliver it back- now it sits there for 2 weeks and I realize that Jake is running out of shirts

my Bank was on my way to walk- so I would just stop in- now I have 5 checks in purse and I can't find time to depoist them


those are just 2 examples of things I miss about the city- and bloomies- it just isn't the same out here!

OK, as a fellow NYC girl- I hear your pain. But I am a wiz at dealing with this.

So here is the plan. Walk to the drycleaner. Hop onto teh 4/5 to Union Square. Can you go to Bloomies in Soho? N/R to Prince.

If not, go to Bloomies before DSW 4/5 to 59th St. Then you can walk to Sharper Image. Take the N/R from 60th and 5th to union square and go to DSW. From there you can take the 4/5 back to 86th and lex adn run your local errends.

Ta da!


ETA: I am running to Bloomies too durign lunch. Maybe I'll see you there

your good- I used to plan out everything like that also when I lived there- you have too- I think it would have annoyed me more if I didn't live in midtown- but since I was so centrally located- it wasn't so bad
