New York magazine recently recently published a video tour from Wendy Goodman of the space, which Amy shares with her rabbit, Tina.

This $5 Trader Joe’s Buy is My Winter Savior
Happy New Year to all of my fellow Trader Joe’s fans suffering from super-scaly appendages, thanks to this lovely cold front we are experiencing! It might be frigid and dry outside, but GUESS WHAT?
