It sounds like your neighborhood is just perfect. Safe, but a little banged up around the edges perhaps (like a comfy pair of old jeans, not like I imagine Texans' closets, full of pressed and starched jeans fresh from the cleaners - I kid you not about that).
OMG fresh delivered bagels = heaven! You have inspired me with that bagel story. I need to try that bagel conglomeration if I can find us a local bagel shop here. But I can dream in the meantime: I need me a Manhattan bagel like nao, cheddar bagel with spinach spread. But in the meantime I'll just pick me up some thin sliced salmon, lettuce tomato onion and cream cheese (and of course the bagels) this week.
SoHo is a wonderful place. I remember the insides of a few shops there that I absolutely loved (names? heck no but I remember one of them sold hand made soaps that were heavenly scented; sandalwood and jasmine were two of my favorites. The one thing I do remember about SoHo was right at the edge of it I found out you don't look up and walk in NYC. Tripped over the sidewalk and did an amazing wipeout turned Keystone Cops all-arms-and-legs melee. Didn't get hurt but boy I had a bruised ego...
Good luck on putting everything together, hope the dresser goes quickly! I love IKEA.
An old pair of jeans is a good way to describe it! A little worn, but very comfortable.
My third or fourth week here, it was raining heavily but my friend and I had been wanting to go to this seafood restaurant for AGES and AGES, and I wasn't giving up on my seafood date!! So we pressed on, even in the torrential rain, and in less than a second I was on the ground with two skinned knees. KNEE BOO BOOS. I haven't had scraped knees since I was 10 years old, lol. But, the seafood was worth it, and my leggings didn't rip, somehow. :3
I love IKEA, too!! So cheap. People always rip the quality, but I don't know if they jump on their furniture or what--I've never had a problem with it breaking apart or anything like that.
