Seventh Avenue in the Shadows?

For those who have lived and/or worked in Park Slope for more than a decade, it is always shocking to see Fifth Avenue referred to as the neighborhood's "main shopping district" and Seventh Avenue being "in the shadows" of Fifth. Not long ago, it was just the opposite!

So, we post this link to Time Out New York's article not to promote Seventh Avenue (although the stores listed are ones we do use, from time to time) but to mark it as a moment in time. My, how things have changed!

Happy 7-11 Day!

Today is July 11th (7/11) and when we said that date to ourselves yesterday, we wondered whether 7-Eleven was doing anything special to celebrate its own namesake day on the calendar.

The answer...is YES!

Our very own 7-Eleven (520 Fifth Avenue) will be celebrating with Free Slurpees, $.50 Hot Dogs and food samples all day long!

It looks like 7-Eleven has birthday deals, as well. You can view them here, although we aren't sure if they are valid at every location.

See you at the Slurpee machine!
