Dateline: New York City. Buyer Beware.

If you’re looking for quality merchandise, there’s certainly no shortage of it on Fifth Avenue. Everywhere you look, you can find the very best of just about anything. Or so I thought. You can’t imagine my embarrassment upon discovering that the above building did NOT, in fact, have the primo inventory that they seemed to be so boldly flaunting.

(Oh, and by the by, Fifth Avenue security guards are a touchy sort with absolutely NO sense of humor. Their NYPD brethren, apparently only a walkie-talkie keystroke away, even less so.)
