Sundays in New York

We don't buy things on Sundays. In the past it hasn't been an issue for us because most places in Utah are closed on Sunday. Also, we didn't often find ourselves out and about on Sundays when we lived in Utah. We were at home, at family's house, or at church. We weren't often in commercial areas. In New York, we live 15 blocks from the church, so we often walk. Walking through New York is a commercial experience, to say the least. We find ourselves thinking, "Hey, we should stop at the store and get this while we're out," forgetting that it's a Sunday - since the city is alive as normal and we're walking around like normal. This is compounded by the fact that every restaurant is jammed with New Yorkers having brunch.

Just a thought.
