This past October I went to New York City with some friends. We go somewhere together every fall. This is our 4 trip together. We have been to Chicago, San Francisco and New York this year. We each put money into an account each month to use for accommodations and dinners on our trip.
While in New York we ate at several excellent restaurants. We went on a tour of the Chelsea Market in the Meat Packing District. This is where the Foodnetwork channel shows are taped. This mall has many different food type stores including seafood, Italian specialties, teas and coffees, bakery to name a few. Basically we ate and sampled our way through the market. It was very cool. At the end of that day we purchased some delectable goodies and had a feast in our apartment instead of dining out. Another day we went on a shopping tour of SOHO. We went in to small boutiques and shops…no big name stores like Macy’s etc. That was interesting but got exhausting long before the tour guide was ready to let us go. We also went to Central Park and that area.
We stayed in a little apartment we rented from VRBO(vacation rental by owner). It was owned by a women. She was actually living there and went and stayed at her boyfriends while we were there. It was in the SOHO/Greenwich Village area. The streets were lined with shops, delicatessens, and restaurants right outside our door. Very different than living in Rice Lake.
The photos are of my friends and the guy in the photo is our tour guide for the Market Tour.
It was a blast but I was pooped when I got home. Took weeks to recover.
