Where do your average point and shoot city dwellers bring digital photos to be printed? Is there any chains, like Ritz Camera around here for quick, local prints? Suggestions welcome.

My motivation for asking: my best friend lives in the city, and she is getting married. I want to give her a useful/fun present. My idea was a kind of goodie bag of photo stuff (this will say "erik" to her as well, I'm the friend with the camera problem). They're going to Tahiti on their honeymoon, so oppurtunities for photos should be plentiful. Luckily, they already have a good P&S - Canon S400. So I was gonna get them an additional CF card so they can click all they want, an empty photo album to fill up, and a gift certificate for some prints. I had originally thought I'd get them a smugmug account and some credit for printing, but they are too busy and "urban" to upload, organize, and print. They're more the take-it-to-the-shop type.

Is this the right forum for this? Had a heck of a time picking one... :scratch

    that is actually close enough that it might work. No chains like Ritz, though? Really? I have to buy this online or over the phone. Don't have time to go pick it up.

    One suggestion, gang!?! I know there's more dazzling nyc urbanites out there.
