Ditto on the nasty employees. I was the only one at the checkout, but had to wait several minutes for the cashier to finish talking to his friend before he helped me.
Good thing there's like a hundred other pharmacies in the area.

The Good:
It's Ikea! In Brooklyn! Cheap, affordable furniture that leans ever so slightly towards the positive side on the style meter.
The Bad:
It's Ikea! In Brooklyn! That stuff may be cheap and affordable, but it's about as durable as the 2009 Mets roster, and the instructions are all apparently drawn by 3rd graders. Swedish 3rd graders.
A Dyslexic's Worst Nightmare:
I have enough trouble with words like "cerebration". I don't need "Medalj" or "Domsjo" added to my vocabulary. Those Swedish bastards.

Every morning, the Manhattan Bridge wakes up and the first thing he sees is the Brooklyn Bridge, and he thinks to himself "Why can't I be cool like him?". Because you suck, Manhattan Bridge, that's why.

99 Cents the Limit Incorporated
Neighborhood: Brighton Beach
This is one of those rare 99 cents stores where everything actually is 99 cents. And that might be nothing to get excited about, but it does happen to be a fairly big store, comparable to the famous Jack's 99 Cents in Midtown. The items are of the usual 99 cents fare - school supplies, housewares, food, candies, clothes that you'd never wear outside and are too ashamed to admit you wear at home, cheese as hard as a brick, toys with names weirder than celebrity offspring, etc.
The checkout girls are also kinda cute. Not that it matters, the checkout line of a 99 cents store is no place to get your mack on. Does anyone say that anymore? Get your mack on? Argh, I am so old.

USPS - James A. Farley
Category: Post Offices
Neighborhood: Fashion District
The Good:
Random people chilling on the stairs. Nice interior design. Open 24-7. Surely at least one person finds that useful. That person's probably pretty weird though. Also likely the only place in the entire city to buy IRCs.
The Bad:
Random people masturbating on the stairs. Often long lines, at least whenever I go. I once waited half an hour, and when I got to the window, he tells me there's a whole other window to buy IRCs. But that was just stupidity on my part.
What I Can't Figure Out:
Why I needed IRCs in the first place.

Foot Locker
Category: Shoe Stores
Neighborhood: Murray Hill
The Good:
Probably the biggest sneaker store I've ever seen. Walls of shoes followed by more walls of shoes. Plenty of employees around to help. Possibly because they get commission bonuses.
The Bad:
It's a Foot Locker, which means very high prices. Honestly, the only time I would buy from Foot Locker is when McDonald's is doing the whole Monopoly game thing where they give you 25% off coupons.
The Easiest Job in the World:
The guy who stands at the door, holding a sneaker, which I'm assuming is to attract passerbys to the store. Hey, you know who else could do your job? A cardboard standout. Have fun getting your ass kicked by the recession, buddy.

Aqua Star Pet Shop
Category: Pet Stores
Neighborhood: Little Italy
This is one of five (yes, five) aquarium stores in the area, and I like to think of it as the third best. And it gets three stars. Hurray for coincidence.
This place is very small, and sometimes quite hard to move around in given it's basically one "aisle". It really doesn't stand out in any way, but if you're an aquarium hobbyist, it's worth a visit since you'll probably be in the area anyways.

Some months ago, I went to the Aquarium for the first time in twenty or so years, and I was part impressed and part disappointed. I also did happen to go at a bad time though, as they shut down a wing of the Aquarium for renovation.
I was impressed by the number and size of exhibits, as the map didn't make the Aquarium look very big. The disappointing part was that a lot of the exhibits just seems to be contain the same animals. I mean, there must've been about ten seahorse tanks and another ten jellyfish tanks.
And if you happen to be aquarist, you'll notice that a lot of the fish are the same ones you see in pet stores and keep at home. They even have algae and snail infestations, just like us!
BTW, don't bother with the 3D ride. Use the money on hot dogs instead. Or just one hot dog. Singular. Nathan's is expensive.

Daniel hasn't made any lists yet.
For whatever reason, there's also a cafe on the side and a small organic market in the middle of the store. I don't get that, I really don't.
