Man to Stay in Paramus, New Jersey Ikea for Six Nights
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 01.07.08 | 4:23 PM ET
Mark Malkoff, aka the guy who visited all 171 Starbucks in Manhattan in 24 hours, checked into the Ikea this morning and will remain there through Saturday, eating at the Ikea restaurant and perhaps sleeping in a four-poster Hemnes. I bet the Ikea fanatics who spent the night at the temporary Ikea hostel in Oslo last summer are jealous.
Malkoff has invited people in the area to visit him. Everyone else can follow along via his daily videos, which could be entertaining. For his day job, Malkoff works for “The Colbert Report,” and his crew includes writers who have contributed to the Onion. Here’s the first effort:

I went to go see him. It was the worst ploy ever - to bad he is just not a popular comic at all and I doubt this did anything for his popularity.

I can’t believe there are 171 Starbucks in Manhattan. Did the guy have coffee at each location. I am sure this guy has a lot of energy. I just gave up caffeine. Was he of starbucks payroll, simlar to subway guy? thanks for the post.
