A Chelsea morning

Although I'm only 20 miles from NYC, and my mom lived there for many years, she and I like to play tourist. Yesterday we went to Chelsea, one of our favorite neighborhoods. It was a gorgeous day, so first we ate breakfast at Pastis and sat outside and people-watched (I especially liked eavesdropping on the French-speaking waitresses). Then we walked across the High Line, which was once an elevated railroad track and is in the process of being converted into a walkway that will run from Chelsea to the Javits Center. We finished the day at Chelsea Market, where we bought Fat Witch Brownies and I tried on clothes at Anthropologie that, once again, I couldn't afford.
