New York things to do part 1 of a never ending list

Written on September 1, 2007 by Alisa

I really don’t shop since I am in KIOSK all the time dur­ing store hours and who wants to shop when you are sur­rounded by merch all day anyway…but I put down a few of my hot spots I go to for inspi­ra­tion, neces­si­ties, or a gift when Marco com­plains we can not give presents from the KIOSK stock, will con­tinue to add as time marches on…
