Great guess, Tul! I'm impressed with your spontaneous intuition although I'm not anywhere in NYC. Last time I was on that 2nd floor was when I was a Boy Scout and our troop visited NYC. We went up to the tippy top of the Empire State Bldg which at that time was the tallest building in the world. This was in 1961 when both Maris and Mantle were chasing Babe Ruth's homerun record. So even more memorably, we saw a Yankees game with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris both hitting home runs! And even though Yogi Berra didn't hit any homers that day, I'm sure he said a lot of cool stuff like "I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."

Related a bit closer to where I am this time, Yogi might have said something like: "I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did." That's about the only Yogi'ism I could find about shopping.
