Union Square

I met Amanda today in Union Square to grab some groceries for dinner. I’d gone in earlier to shoot a little and try to find a new book by the Dalai Lama and replace an old and cracked Nalgene with what I hope to be a vast improvement, a Klean Kantene. I couldn’t find either one, but I did find Joe Ades’ daughter Ruth Ades Laurent (whose husband’s family runs La Ripaille Restaurant in the West Village) selling his infamous peelers from Switzerland in Union Square. She had his iconic salesman British accent and had almost exactly the same sales pitch… all is well with the world again! (I own one of these peelers and I have to tell you it is the best peeler I’ve ever used)

Then we walked through Whole Foods looking for something nice for dinner and also for one of those water bottles, when I stumbled upon the staff break room. The employee furthest back saw my camera and wanted a picture, and it gave me a chance to document how nice their break rooms are!
