I know, I am a bad New Yorker if I am excited about the appearance of a chain store in my city. But thank you Gawker for pointing this out, a Trader Joe's is going to open in a few months near Union Square. And they are even opening a wine store so that they will still be able to sell their two-buck chuck. Bonnie, I will now know the pleasures of this thing you talk about frequently. I am so excited!

And supposedly, my favorite wine store, Astor Wines, is about to become even more amazing and gigantic this year. FYI.
