So has anyone checked out the new super Target in Brooklyn? It only took me 20 min to get there from my apt in Manhattan, door to door. It is amazing!!! Everybody get your little butts there and quick!

insomniak - rents are too high in NYC to make a Target feasible. We don't have a Wal-Mart either.

I am so sorry. I hate the suburbs less now. Target is so useful.

I know that Bobo warned against it, but I have an unhealthy obsession with Target.
I just bought this great lapdesk thing for $10 there yesterday (which, btw, my laptop is sitting on right now) and I LOVE it.
Also, Target has great lip gloss.
Okay, I'm done now.

LAPDESK!!!! I need one FF!!! My laptop can get really really really hot, and sitting on my lap, well intense heat isn't good. I shall venture to Target to get one.

Glad there's one in NYC for when I move there, in about three years lol. I love me some Target

I went to an IKEA in Canada once.
Horrible experience.
The whole store was built in this big circle, and my family ended up getting separated and lost.
Are the US and Spanish ones the same way, or is this just a Canadian thing?

Walmart is evil for every job it creates in a community it destroys 2 1/2 Walmart's goal is to control 1/3 of everything. Power hungry jerks. They treat their female employees like crap too.

It's the same way in spain ff... I use to go to buy props and furniture for our shootings with the art director, and it's fun to get lost spending lots of (other's) money!

btw
If you gou to ikea, try the ikea's meatballs at the restaurant... I love it!

I remember seeing the Kmart in Manhattan. And this year when i go back to NYC i'm making a trip to Target!! woohoo! though i may seem a bit ridiculous since i have two target's and two walmarts nearby and decide to wait until i travel hundreds of miles to go to the same exact store...ha o well!

No Ikea in NYC either - you have to take their shuttle bus to New Jersey....then, you have to have everything delivered back to Manhattan. no fun.

[POLisPOL]

the carton is already assembled.
But the choolate cames in a separate box, and you have to put it together with the cookies by yourself.
just kidding

There's an Ikea about 15 minutes from me (on Long Island) and I dread that store. I've gotten lost in it too many times to enjoy it! I can do the catalogue and I can go in and go to the basement part where they have the frames, etc, but the main store scares me.

As for the Target on Atlantic Avenue I didn't even know it was open until last night. I actually was driving by it at about 11:45pm and saw the signs for it and went "Oooooooooooh I must go there." We have Targets closer to me but that one seems very interesting so I'll probably wander into it next week or the week after when I'm back in Brooklyn.
