Book Off on 45th St. between 5th & 6th. Peculiar pricing, but a truly wide-ranging selection of interesting toys, comics, movies, video games and music.

We visit Book Off, the Japanese used bookstore (& manga, movies, toys, etc.) chain at their Midtown Manhattan location. How much should a loosie Pokemon card cost? Is Popeye still the magazine for city boys? Links: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... open.spotify.com/episode/59R2...

If you find yourself at an off-peak time, the view is quite nice from the upper floors of the Regal Essex Crossing theater.

unattended concessions stand at the regal essex crossing. brightly lit with the usual offerings, although they do have an icee machine as well.

dark interior of the regal essex crossing looking out through a hexagonal opening on the 3rd floor. view of essex street to the north and the chrysler building in the distance. faded lettering of the old "essex street market" on the brick building across the street.

From insane resale prices to hours-long waits, the summer of movie ticket "concertification" is upon us. Part of the problem is tech, but it's also our "scarcity mindset" around being first to see the best possible formats. by @milesklee.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/why-is...

Why Is It Absolute Hell to Buy a Movie Ticket Now?

Overwhelmed theater apps and a scarcity mindset around exclusive big-screen formats for blockbusters like “Dune: Part Three” and “The Odyssey” have led to the “concertification” of movies.

We visit the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, NJ. What is the true measure of mall size? Is "Galleria" a classic mall name, or too generic? Why does the Card Vault by Tom Brady use knockoff Marc Jacobs branding? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... open.spotify.com/episode/5mcw...

We visit the storied NYC discount retailer Century 21 with Claire Hamilton. Can the current store compete with its former incarnation as a cathedral of marked-down designer goods? Is coming of age in a group dressing room worth longing for? Is robot-made coffee a sign of utopia or dystopia?

Good morning, I'm back at @retroxp.bsky.social looking at 30 years of the Playstation, this time through the lens of Namco Museum. Namco's celebration of its past was never better, nor a deeper dive, than in its initial Playstation incarnations, and they should look to that fact in the future.

30 years of the Playstation: Namco Museum

The start of a vital trend, and Namco has arguably never done it better than on the Playstation.

We visit the Locavore Variety Store in the West Village, where nearly everything for sale is made within 100 miles. Is there room for a nut company that *doesn't* use suggestive nut puns? What weird things do people want to do with/to a barrel of pickles? Who is using the tester lip balm?

A long narrow shop with an island shelf down the middle, displaying a stack of locavore guide to shopping NYC books and a vase of tall pink flowers

A view from the other end of the store. The middle table has “tube wringers” for a sale, a product from Oregon which is featured as the “tourist of the month”—one product per month highlighted that is not local to the area.
