Some people like going to museums when they travel or visiting monuments and stuff but I prefer doing random non touristy things instead. Yesterday I passed by Costco on the way back from Coney Island. I love the place, I swear I would move to the US (or Canada) just for Costco. For those of you who don’t know what it is, Costco is a giant warehouse style store where they sell a variety of stuff from food, to electronics, to clothes, books, dvds and medicine all in bulk sizes or great deals. Sultan Center tries to do the same with their Sultan Center wholesale branch but fail miserably.
I love walking around Costco and checking out the absurdly large over-sized boxes of food and snacking on the sampling stations. Next on my to do list is a Wal-mart in New Jersey and the large Best Buy at the East River Plaza.

this brings bak memories …
I have a lot of happy memories with their return policy.
The food can be good value. Most other stuff (particularly the electronics) is overpriced compared to buying online, though the return policy is handy.
They have Costco in the UK as well. I used to love the place, Have fun!
I’m justing hating you right now! On every weekend, i used to go costco, wal-mart, best buy, and circuit city .. and don’t forget barns&noble, enjoy 🙂
i heart your pics more than ever now. It’s really obvious how comfortable it is to snap pics than it is in kuwait.
Nomaddia ..
you mean tesco
Costco is amazing. There was a sitcom where one of the main characters was making a big deal of having a Costco card, as if it’s an exclusive club.
Their food is amazing. If you like guacamole, I highly recommend it from there. No preservatives and VERY delicious.
amazon ftw
Order online? Amazon? I don’t think you guys know what costco is. It’s like a supermarket, u can’t order food online and ship it to Kuwait and even if u could I enjoy fucking walking into a supermarket and finding all my favorite items instead of having to order them off the web. Like seriously you guys need to get out more…
@Mark,
Says the man who goes to New York and spends his time walking around a large warehouse.
That place was huge! I used to live 5 minutes away from one and I had the membership! lol! Cool stuff and lots of fun! They had some good outdoor furniture!
David: real warehouse > virtual warehouse 😉

i love their giant pizza
Costco and Walmart is for rednecks.
cajie: long live the REDNECKS!!
LOL even though I have never been to COSTCO and would rather get my goods at a Super Target than a Wal-Mart!!
cajie, you are a redneck.. costco is the best grocer in north america
Hey Mark.Could you buy me a 16GB 3GS iPhone at Walmart.They’re going for $97 because the next model is coming out next week.

enjoy, it’s the best store in the world
Costco in the Uk is great for buying in bulk. The fresh pizzas are huge and great value.
We tend to go there at christmas, as you can really stock up for the holidays.
YOU SHOULD TRY THEIR HOTDOGS FROM THEIR CAFETERIA. TO DIE FOR.
@desert sky: thats with a two year plan. I checked 🙁

Yes…
This is much better than doing all sorts of crap like seeing the museums/sights/shows/architecture/street culture… Why would you do that when you can spend your time in a giant supermarket?
🙂
You know that you don’t spend all day in a super market right? its like an hour of the day. Plus the experience of getting to a Costco specially like the one I went to which was located in an industrial area is more interesting than walking down 5th ave surrounded by tourists.
I know, Mark… It was a joke.
I do the same on trips longer than 2 days.
It’s the same place that the shot “Employee of the month” Movie
It’s the same place that they shot “Employee of the month” Movie
لول صج الناس أذواق! متعني لي نيويورك عشان تتمشي بكوستكو و تأكل فائق قايز لول
Coney Island? you rode the “D” train of course to the Surf Avenue station. how were the Frankfurters at Nathan’s, yummy. did you go for a swim in the ocean?
Nope the F train
Costco scares the poop outa me. I hate it when my mom buys products from there when I am back in the States. I always ask her where the fuck she is going to put 200 cans of Tuna fish or 500 packs of toilet paper. Costco is a stadium for consumer products. Big Ass Consumer America at its finest.
I love the frozen foods section of Costco! Dang, I’m gonna have to look up the nearest one and pick up a membership this summer!
I agree with u, it is a nice place with awesome prices. However you did’t minsion that you need to buy a membership before buying and they accepts cash only.
? They took major credit cards last time I had a membership 3 1/2 years ago..
