Jer and I spent four hours at the new Brooklyn Ikea yesterday, whew. We feel somehow changed by the experience, and are proud of our perseverance getting through it. Before this Ikea opened this year, there was no Ikea in NYC, and seriously, multiple New Yorkers have asked us in the past two weeks, "Have you been to the Ikea yet??!!" People, calm down, Ikea is great, yet very grating. It was crazy town there yesterday with so many people. It is nice, however, that people in Manhattan can take a FREE water taxi from the island directly to the store -- tourists can just ride the taxi if they want, too. We got plenty of cute and necessary items for our new apartment, like a mini butcher block cart adding 20 inches of valuable counter space to our kitchen. We also had a little pre-shopping Swedish treat (Dajm tårta, Kristian Regal-äpple, kaffe) at Cafe Ikea. Jeremy didn't look so calm and collected by the end of the visit there...
