the cheese is also good. but don't buy their "wood" furniture. they have an all in one compact kitchen that is priced well. it's priced less than what a contractor would pay. (a stainless steel 2 burner, sick and fridge combo perfect for that illegal basement apt.)

What about the lingonberry sauce? Is it just swedish meatballs that have all of you salivating?

The meatballs be cool dude. They are made from the foreskins of Norwegian semen.

the only thing shitty is the wood. Don't buy the furniture with wood in it. And those meatballs are whack!

"All for cheap shitty furniture?" It's affordable furniture, similar to affordable housing, not subsidized housing, but affordable housing. In ten years it dies but at least it works during the mean time.

That area is going to be a traffic nightmare now. The steets around there are pot hole ridden and it's like driving through a mine field. Multiply that by thousands of cars and there goes that quiet neighborhood. All for cheap shitty furniture?

those meatballs will be the only thing worthwhile in that shitty neighborhood. they should be kissing Ikea's ass for following through on the development after that neighborhood started to tank last year! they even gave them free ferry service to civilization...

Naren Budhka predict that the neighborhood “will change for the worse” It's Red Hook for god's sake not Park Avenue in the seventies. Does Naren not like Swedish meatballs in his diet?
