In case you are poor in NYC...
What could be more exciting than a 4 hour trip to IKEA in Brooklyn with 3 other interns to pick up 10 folding chairs for the office?
How about the fact that IKEA sells all 3, breakfast, lunch, and dinner for under $5 in their food court. NOT even joking. 2 hot dogs, chips, and a soda for $2.50… people, you can’t find that anywhere these days. $1 for a nice hot cinn-a-bon. $1 for a soft pretzel.
The best part- as I walked off the water taxi with my 3 folding chairs in hand on to Wall Street, I asked the street vendor politely “Sir, how much are your soft pretzels?”
“Two dolla” he replied. A triumphant smile spread accross my face. Thank you IKEA.
