Chelsea Market

At the end of March, our good friend Sheridan came to visit NYC.  She lives in Utah now, and can you believe she WON a trip to NYC.  So I spent a couple of days downtown with her and Amanda (her guest, and another of our friends).  We started with a trip to Chelsea Market- a great destination for a rainy day.

We browsed in this cookie shop because the cookies were so adorable!

 

The owner thought Ella was so sweet, so he gave her a cookie.  So nice!!!

Then we stopped to watch the bread baking at Amy's Bread.  These guys have some skillz the way they throw that dough around and remove it from the oven with a huge long wooden paddle- scooping it out several loaves at a time and sliding them onto these metal racks without losing a baguette out the other side.  Amazing.

We got some lunch-- Thai noodles for me and soup&salad for Sheridan.  Then she let Ella take some photos....

Then we stopped at Posman Books which is a charming little book store.  We hung out in the kids section for awhile reading books and letting Caleb get some time out of the stroller.

 

 We had to have something sweet, of course, so we opted for some crepes.  I got a sugar&lemon crepe and Sheridan and Amanda opted for Nutella crepes.  Yum!

And finally, I let Ella toss a whole roll of pennies in the waterfall/well feature.  Good times.
