The closest Target store to my apartment (according to the Target store locator) is the one in Queens, and it’s only accessible by car. So although Ashleigh and I love Target, we reluctantly concluded a few weeks ago that we could only order online from Target.com instead of visiting the store.

Then yesterday it came to my attention (while browsing for neighborhood stores on NewYorkMetro.com) that there’s also a Target in Brooklyn, at a place called the Atlantic Terminal. I mapped it, and then I compared its street location to the subway map to see if it was subway-accessible.

Lo and behold, it’s located at the intersection of the N, R, Q, B, D, 2, 3, 4, 5, and M trains. So basically, you can get to Target in Brooklyn from anywhere else in New York City.

Needless to say, Ashleigh and I visited Target last night (it’s open till 11pm) and bought our first fake Christmas tree together.

It just occurred to me that this guy named Bo from Downtown Furniture, who’s selling me a sofa, sounds exactly like Homestar Runner.
