Even house plants are overpriced in NYC

Mar 03, 2011 18:08

I decided that in order to survive this never-ending not-quite-winter I needed some house plants. I got a zip car and decided to hit a couple of Brooklyn nurseries. Let me tell you, it took me FIVE tries to find one I liked. The others were so incredibly disheartening I was beginning to think that New Yorkers just didn't know what plants looked like, because I'd found all of them on yelp. But Sprout saved me from a wasted zip car reservation.

It was a sunny leafy paradise and I would've simply moved in if I thought I could fit my bed in there. I comforted myself by taking two philodendrons, a peace lily, Irish shamrock (which...isn't that kind of redundant?), and a fern.

And then because I had the zipcar I decided to head to the Fairway in Red Hook. Let me tell you, today was a beautiful day to drive on the BQE, I didn't even mind that there was a huge accident by Camden Parkway that slowed us all down FOREVER.

I was listening to Hurts' "Sunday" on the way back and I realized that I meant to upload their debut album for you guys sometime in mid-january and totally forgot with all the moving craziness. It's good stuff, very new wave, hence why I'm so obsessed with it.
