So I’ve been looking at apartments and keep seeing these full floor places that come with keyed elevator access. I know it sounds a little pretentious but some of them are actually in my budget range somehow. I’m used to regular apartment building layouts where you walk down a hallway and unlock your door like

Why Trader Joes?

Been seeing tons of videos (and seen it firsthand) of people waiting in line outside of Trader Joes. Multiple locations wiped out of stock, like people are preparing for the apocalypse!

I finally went because every NYC food account acts like it’s a spiritual awakening and I’m genuinely confused. It’s fried chicken. Good fried chicken, sure. But the whole thing feels like: ✨ nugget ✨ caviar ✨ $38 That’s it. That’s the menu. It’s not inventive. It’s not complex. It’s not even particularly interesting. It’s literally
