Highline and Hitting the shops!

Our day started with Baz packing to head to Nashville. After a quick walk down 5th avenue together, he and Mase jumped into a massive black suburban FBI style and zoomed off to the airport.

I laced on my walking shoes and headed off to find the High Line- a repurposed elevated railway line now a garden right in the city!

I walked most of the length through the garden, then found the Chelsea market and wandered through there finding the best coffee so far along the way.

There are loads of different food vendors including a seafood market with a huge variety of the freshest looking fish I've seen in ages. They have a lobster cooking station at the back where there were happy punters slurping on lobster claws!

I then caught the subway home for a rest and refresh, and hit 5th avenue to shop. The sales are on for the end of summer stock, so the shops were crazy but I managed to snaffle a bargain or two regardless.

After I finished I decided to stop at the summer garden outdoor bar/cafe that's been set up in Rockefeller (sp?) plaza. A very civilized glass of proseco set me in order so I finished the afternoon with a haircut and back to the hotel for a chat with the kids.

Finally tonight I dined at Benoit- an Alain Ducasse restaurant in NY. Other than the accents around me I could have thought I was in Paris. A crisp rose, onion soup and soufflé.... Yum. Funnily enough the door bitch was an ex pat from Melbourne!

I'm packed up ready for tomorrow so I can use my time for a run, a bit more shopping and MOMA before I head to the airport for New Orleans. Night night
