New Luxuries
The Jefferson Market Branch of the NYPL is right across the street from Cinterella, the famous deli/Italian food place. And I hesitated and hesitated before I finally decided to buy some dulce de leche ($6.99 versus $10 at Dean & Deluca on Prince Street) and a loaf of walnut/raisin bread ($6.99 versus $10 at Dean & Deluca). Once upon a time treating myself to these foods was nothing much. I just went to a place like Zabar’s on the Upper West Side and bought them. Now, I feel like they are beyond my reach and that I cannot afford them.

$8.76
Wednesday, October 15, 2008: I spent $8.76 at Dean & Deluca, the Prince Street Deli and I thought I was being a some sort of big spender. At one oint in my life, $8.76 was nothing, but now it's a lot of money. A Hell of a lot of money.
