Visit Whole Foods, get a free ride home…sort of
In order to promote their newest location in Manhattan, Whole Foods will use Zipcar to give any shopper who shows up on Thursday, March 29th, between 3pm and 9pm, a free ride home. But there’s a catch (there always is, isn’t there?)…they will only drive you home if it’s below 42nd Street. That puts me out of range, but I suppose I could take the Zipcar to 42nd Street and then catch a cab or bus from there.
Regardless of how I get home, I do plan on visiting the store, even though it’s location of Houston and Bowery is waaaay out of my “convenience zone”. Why would I visit it, even though there are Whole Foods in Columbus Circle and Union Square that are more convenient? Well, I have a confession to make, and I haven’t told this to anyone…I like to cook. There, I’ve said it. Whew, feels like a weight’s been lifted off me. I’m not very good at it, and it’s sort of at odds with my perfectionist/analytical personality, but I like it, and I love the Food Network. So, I will definitely be checking out their Culinary Center where they’ll have classes for all skill levels (I’m a pre-novice), and their Fromagerie (that’s a new word to me, btw). In addition to those exciting attractions, they are supposed to be one of the “greenest” supermarkets in the city.
I won’t make it for opening night, but I will check it out, even if it is a trek and a half for grocery shopping. If anyone does go, I want a report!
does brooklyn count as below 42nd street?! nothing wrong with cooking.
Sorry, but they specifically mentioned Manhattan, below 42nd Street, as the boundary.
