NYC 2016 Part 1 of

Yes, It's been a while.  I know.  I should have written something, ANYTHING by now, but WTF.  So I am going to ramble a bit more then start out with the BLOG.  So here we go.  Onwards and Upwards!!

So finally I had the opportunity to go to NYC and see how the other half live.  No really, I love going to NYC.  This time, the weather was a bit warm, it sprinkled a bit, but there was no humidity afterwards.  Pretty neat.  We took a redeye from Burbank to NYC and I have to admit that this was the nicest airport experience ever.

OK so we stayed in the Chelsea district.  I love chillin on the High Line park.
There is a part of Chelsea where there is a flower district.  They have plants everywhere on the sidewalks and the street.  This is like the LA flower mart but on crack and with less homeless people (sorry)

Here is the rooftop bar.  Pretty neat with a view of the new Freedom Tower.  


So first up you gotta do in NYC is...EAT!  
One of my favorite spots is Balthazar's
http://www.balthazarny.com/
Its a French Bakery and Restaurant!!

I saw this while going to Balthazar's.  It looks like a Jenga building. So yea.. Balthazars....


We went there for lunch and first up with the ceviche.  It had fucking lobster in it.  Goddamn


Next up was the Steak Frites! 

This cow was a happy cow.  These photos were taken a month ago and still make my mouth water!!

So from there, we had to shop!
I saw this on the door and have never seen anything like it.  It's sad that people don't get it and we have to make these kind of laws, but wtf.  

So we are on our way back to the hotel and decided to check out the Nespresso store thinking that they would have good coffee.
Turns out, all they have are shots.  No Lattes, no Cappuccinos, none of that shenanigans. Just sell only those goddamn cups that pollute the environment. Thanks.




Here is a cool pic I took of the Empire State Building.

Picana Lays.  Not bad.  I would say one of the better flavors.

NYC Trip 10-4-11 to 10-8-11

Here are some pictures I took from my NYC Trip.  One of the coolest things I saw was the Chelsea Market.  It was kind of a food mall on the bottom of an office building. 
Obviously it is in the Chelsea part of Manhattan.  Actually that area is kind of tiny. 
So as I said, there is a food mall on the floor level.  Food court is not the term for this place. 
They have a seafood market.
I was impressed that they had razor clams.  I have been hard to to try these little guys for quite some time already.

 I thought these shelles looked pretty.

So later on I started getting hungry.  They have a "Lunch Box" special there.
That nice box was $20.  Here is what you get.
 That would be natural root beer, Cape Cod kettle cooked chips, a Lobster roll, and coleslaw.  Normally you get an oatmeal and raisin cookie, but raisins are my Kryptonite.  Me and raisins don't get along.  So they gave me coleslaw.
And here would be the Lobster roll.  It is all lobster.  No shrimps or other stuff.  
Good stuff; not too mayo-y.  It was just heaven eating this guy.  This was totally worth $20. 
Since it was Halloween, they had to decorate.
Frankenstein is clearly trying to escape.

Water leak...
