While In New York

While in Manhattan this week I have two destinations beyond the roadshow:

1. The Chip Shop – the English fish and chips spot made famous for deep-frying Twinkies.  I’m not a Twinkie fan so I’m going for the deep-fried Reese peanut butter cups.  I’ll probably go all out and try the deep-fried Twix as well.

I’ve been itching to check out the Chip Shop since I saw it on the Supersize Me DVD bonus features.

Update:  Crap, the Chip Shop is in Brooklyn.  I may not get there.  :(

 

2. The Apple store on 5th:

    Nuthin’. The outside of the store is as cool as it looks in the photos. But the store itself was disappointing. Just lots of the same Mac hardware with a ton of people just surfing the web. Plenty of iPod accessories (yawn). Boring laptop bags. Nothing I wanted to take home. :(

    Didn’t get to the Chip Shop either.
