I hadn't even heard that Target sold them last year.  Macy's is someplace to visit if you're in NY (or SF...), Field's if you're in Chicago. Decision is aimed at the sort that expect to eat at McDonald's wherever they go in the world, I suppose.

The end of an era, definitely.  But Fields is not what is was even twenty-five years ago from a service standpoint, so I guess I'm not too upset.  Feel free to disagree - it's certainly just my view.

For me, shopping at Fields downtown is as much about the Sullivan architecture as the products.  (Bill Moy, it is Sullivan, right?).  The tradition of Christmas dinner in the Walnut room only lasted until I was 12 or so, and now I can't stand the long lines.  The building will remain though.

What the heck, Chicago got Joffrey, so now NY gets the Fields building.  Quid pro quo?

Wait a sec...what's going to happen to those Frango Mints I need?!
