The Red Hook IKEA

I don't know which is more impressive really - that the new Brooklyn IKEA has a Manhattan skyline built of cardboard boxes, from the Empire State Building down to the water towers.

Or that, despite the public city bus that actually changed its route to end up at IKEA, there are at least 4 different shuttles ferrying passengers from the nearby subway stops directly to and fro the new giant store. Manhattanites really can't handle the outer boroughs, can they?

Otherwise, it's just a normal IKEA inside. But now you can take a free shuttle bus to the 99c kids' meal!
