It isn't enough to go shopping here. The experience must be augemented and made as pleasurable. I might have mentioned the music in stores before, yes? Well, to make it official, a kick-ass soundtrack is beloved by all New Yorkers. I'm not just talking about the music in Abercrombie that makes your eardrums pop because of the sheer volume. This is music played at the perfect volume. Good enough to hum along but unobtrusive enough to hold a conversation. If it were a hot tub, the music would be at exactly 100 degrees.
The range of songs are unbelievable. If you are picking out tuna fish at the grocery store, the Village People are a good option. If you are in the pharmacy getting your prescription, it is best to have Marvin Gaye playing.
It isn't just the music, I'm finding that New Yorkers are not inhibited to sing in public. Just the other day in the cereal aisle, I saw a guy do a little spin on his heel as he sang along to D'yer Maker by Led Zepplin. Good music makes your ordinary shopping experience extraordinary!
