I told you before about the food tour we took back in November with Kyle's family who
were visiting for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun, and delicious, and we couldn't stop talking
about it. I think we yapped about it so much that my in-laws gave us a tour in a different
neighborhood for our anniversary. Yes, they're pretty amazing and generous and I'm very lucky.
This time our tour was of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District.
Since 70% of the tour was inside at the market it made for a perfect wintry weekend activity.
Here's a look at the fabulous tastings we had on our tour...
(be prepared to see a lot of pictures of me eating. Somehow I'm the only one
photographed looking like a glutton. I now see Kyle's genius plan.)
A stop at Eleni's for a peak at the beautifully designed cookies had us pleasantly surprised
with their decadent cupcakes. Dare I say they were better than Magnolias?!?!?
The wine selection at the Chelsea Wine Vault is out of this world.
"Do you have any for $9.99 and under? Oh you do? Fantastic!!"
A picnic-style plate of meat, cheese, antipasto, and bread at Buon Italia, a specialty Italian grocery
So many little eateries...so little room in our tummies...
A little bite of Australia at Tuck Shop
Delicious biscuits with jam from Sarabeth's Bakery. To. Die. For.
Once outside Chelsea Market we toured the High Line, strolled the streets of what was and is now the Meatpacking District, and had some out of this world garganelli with oxtail ragu at Marcelleria. Amazing how so many former butcher shops are now filled with high-end designer boutiques.
It turned out to be a pretty great day of eating, learning, eating, and oh yes,
more eating...hence the big grins and "I'm full" eyes on our faces. Another recommended
activity for those visiting the city. Thanks Russ and Beth for the food tour!
