For decades, Nordstrom’s in-store cafes, especially the Marketplace Cafe, turned a routine shopping trip into a mini culinary escape. Famous for their creamy tomato-basil soup, salads, and desserts, grabbing lunch there became a rite of passage for mall-goers. Whether meeting your friends after a quick fashion haul or grabbing a meal while running errands with mom, in the heyday of American malls, making lunch at Nordstrom an unmissable tradition. #nordstrom #nostalgia #2000s
New York City’s tap water is so pure, the city is one of the few in America allowed to skip full-scale filtration. It’s tested more than a million times a year and even hosts microscopic, shrimp-like copepods that help keep the system naturally clean. Chefs swear that this perfectly balanced water is the secret behind Gotham’s legendary bagels and pizza crust. #nyc #newyork
