New York has many different neighborhoods that are like miniature cities within the city. They all have their own feel and style. This past weekend we went to Chelsea and the West Village.
The crowd here, especially in Greenwich Village, is weird unique and eclectic. It's a fabulous place to people watch and we certainly did a lot of that while we ate brunch at a sidewalk cafe.
The small streets in the West Village are unlike any others in city. Everything seems miniature. There are many high end designers with small shops here as well as restaurants by some of the most well-known chefs and it's a great place to wander.
We also checked out the goods at Chelsea Market. This building has so much history (it started as the Nabisco factory - the Oreo was invented here!) and it now houses a beautifully designed Anthropologie (gasp!), shops, restaurants, and is the home to Food Network.
Unfortunately our day was cut short by a heavy downpour and good luck getting a cab when it's raining. We arrived home soaking wet with soggy Trader Joe's bags full of groceries. Ick!
Those neighbourhoods look and sound cool! We didn't visit either when we went to NYC, but there's always next time :). I am jealous that you live there!
