New York corner
After the corner window for the watching dogs, here is the classic New York corner shop for us. Opened 24/7 ! Free delivery ! Do we have such a place in Paris ? No… For fresh and fancy delicatessen (written above the shop ) we have Fauchon, Place de la Madeleine, certainly not opened all the time, but much more expensive and maybe better in terms of food quality. Can't have everything. But on a street corner in Brooklyn, this place is rather typical. I did not stop to buy anything there. Maybe I should have tried. What fascinated me was the fake stone liner right on the corner. The blue light on the side adds to the attraction. And of course the fact that you could find everything including ice-cream and money from their ATM. Fantastic ! Regulations in France forbid these kind of places. Shops are not allowed to open all night, most of them have to close on Sunday. A number of other regulations of all types would have this place shut in no time by the watchful French administration.
