King Kullen Grocery

For what I would consider a mid-size supermarket, this store is well stocked and the customer service is very good. I have never had a problem with this store since all their store policies are in plain site. All the cashiers (as weel as other employees) are friendly and well trained. In addition the chain is great, since it is the only one in my area that doubles coupons up to and including one dollar.

PROS: Great service
CONS:

Carmel Limousine & Car Transportation

Recently used this service and booked online (which they advertise) was told fare would be one price and received an e-mail confirmation. In middle of being transported to my destination was told that price was an error and charged double. Complained to their customer service (both by phone and e-mail) and received no response. Therefore would not recommend this company to anybody, since there are tons of other car service agencies in New York City.

PROS:
CONS: Overcharged

Macy's

This Macy's is the department stores of department stores. It is huge. You can pretty much find something for everyone be it clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, toys, appliances, etc... this store has a little bit of everything. There is even a very large food gallery (court does not really describe it correctly) in which you can find many specialty foods. If you love to shop, this is the deprtment store that you cannot miss.

IKEA

Great store and very family friendly. There is a playroom where children can be watched while parents shop. The furnishings are fairly inexpensive and colorful. To sum up Ikea, I would say that it is an ideal place for temporary furnishings that look very nice (i.e. college dorm or first apartment). I have found that many of there fixtures are not of long term quality. anothe plus is they have an onsite restaurant (Swedish meatballs a specialty) that is inexpensive as well.

Popei's Clam Bar

This is by far one of the better "casual" seafood restaurants have encountered. The prices are reasonable for entrees ($11-$20) and the portions are huge. Most people leave with a to-go bag. In addition, each weekday night (not weekends) an all you can eat event special is provided for select food items. For the wekkends there are "late night" specials which are very affordable. Wait staff is very friendly and the place is always busy. This place is highly recommended.

PROS: Great seafood at reasonable prices
CONS:
