Church Avenue is the place to shop in Kensington. The stand-out destination is Golden Farm, a 24-hour store at E. 4th Street, which has a huge array of fruit, produce, and other reasonably priced foods. There are also a few 99-cent stores on the street, which are affordable, but have nothing you need to buy.

Ikea, Red Hook
You don’t know who reads this stuff. On the off chance you’re from Ikea headquarters, let me share my (automatically translated) thoughts :
Du behöver tio objekt, eller mindre fodrar!
Really! We are impatient New Yorkers who go all squirrelly when we have three things in our basket and every line is filled with people setting up house with carts of bulky items. You need a ten items or less [sic] line!

I went to the mall thinking that everyone was going to be at home not spending money, but I was wrong. The crowds and their wallets were out, though the sale merchandise was scant and worse for the wear after the holidays.
But for those who feel the pull of shopping, there’s always an event just around the corner. Valentine’s Day is only five weeks away and the cards, candy, and heart-decorated t-shirts are everywhere, out and ready.
