Chelsea Dagger

Hello New York!

Chelsea is probably one of my favorite places in NYC. It's filled with so many great shops, eateries and things to see. Kimberly is a friend that I met through my sister. She is super sweet and really fun to hang out with. Every time I'm in town, I always try to make a point to see her.

We met up in Chelsea to check out Chelsea Market. For those of you who haven't been there, you have to go! It's sort of an indoor mall that has lots of places to eat, shop and such. It's very similar to Faneuil Hall in Boston. Food Network and MLB offices are upstairs in Chelsea Market. Basically you can go in there, browse around and find something you like. Each place has a little something different to offer. There are lots of bakeries, clothing stores, savory foods, and grocery type stores to explore. We went into The Lobster Place, and found sushi and other things to eat. I of course, chose the lobster to eat! Kimberly and Samine (her hubby) got sushi and lobster also. We scurried back outside and found a place to sit.

It was really nice to just sit in the middle of Chelsea enjoying a great day, eating lunch with really good company! I really love Kimberly, and her hubby was just like her so there wasn't anything not to love about him too! After lunch, Kimberly took me on a walk all around the area. It's not as expensive as say the Upper East Side of the city, but there are still lots of designer stores and such to go in. I didn't have any interest in going to them. Why bother, when I don't have that kind of money to blow right?! 

Again, I only ate about half or maybe a bit more of my lobster but definitely not the entire thing. I was really worried about what I would be facing in NYC, with all of it's food attractions. We walked around the area for a good 45mins until we had to part ways and go on with our days. I took the train to my sister's new office. It was great there! The subway dumped me off right in front of the World Trade Center construction site, and I was able to see some memorials there. St. Paul's Chapel was right next to it, so I stopped inside for a peek. It was really moving all of the collages set there. After Hien got out of work, we met up with Whitney for some dinner plans that included Peking Duck! ENOUGH SAID. It's the best duck place to go to in NYC. Delish!
