Nordstroms opened a lovely store in downtown Toronto 2 years ago. It anchors the Eaton Center. In addition to all the great departments there is a restaurant with a view down 3 stories into a courtyard and down the main aisles to the other end of the mall.

Every 2-3 months DS#2 makes a trip into the big city for proper barbering (he has a beard), some shopping, and to hook up with friends who live in the city. Shortly after Nordstroms opened, I brought him out for lunch at the restaurant. He had a grilled cheese and short rib sandwich with black current jam! Later, when his brother started coming with him, DS#2 introduced him to the restaurant and the sandwich. Even when I can't join them, they do lunch together at Nordies! I asked them why they don't switch up and they gave me a list of reasons, including the unique sandwich, great service and atmosphere. We don't do NAS (yet) but we have our own Nordstroms tradition!

Today I joined them for a few minutes, stole a few fries, and DS#1 snapped some pics - before I trekked back to work.
