Just got back from a very short trip to New York City. One night was given over to a splendid concert at the Lincoln centre by the New York Philharmonic and James Galway, the other night was used to watch the Passion of the Christ. Apart from the culture, it was interesting to observe how the internet has changed the way we all shop for electronics. Stores now act as catalogs for their online offerings. Consumers come in more to browse and relax. Indeed this was highlighted by Barnes and Noble and Tower Records both on opposite sides of Broadway. Tower had a thriving store with a Starbucks conveniently located on the top floor. Tower looked lack luster by comparision, no coffee shop evident. Just a few trends evident to this observer in on visiting the Big Apple.
