Yesterday was (for me) an action packed day. Earlier in the day we headed to the E Village to walk around and shop a little, then we headed to Kalustyans Market/Lunch place for lunch, which was really a treat. The giant bean salad which I love was excellent, as was this chickpea salad and lentil salad. The Falafel was a disappointment for me, frankly, but the salads made up for it. The shelves were crammed with all sorts of goodies that I miss having around, but was in some ways not up to par with my Armenian markets in LA. It is now owned by non-Armenians I think, but since all the Armenian places are up in Queens I have skipped out on visiting them.

Then I struck off on my own to go to a Home Depot, apparently not something meant to be done by subway/foot. After finding out the train I wanted to take doesn't run on weekends, I had to transfer a few times to get to another. That took forever. Walking to Home Depot meant having to cross almost a highway, and the store was just a disaster area compared to what I am used to. Getting back home meant taking four different subway/train lines and took well over an hour, the only highlight of which was seeing the Statue of Liberty from one of the stops while I was collapsed exhausted on a bench!
