This Week

My girlfriend was in from Seattle last weekend, and we did one of my favorite things to do in the city, shop the Flea Markets! There are a few great ones in the Manhattan. On the top of my list is the Antiques Garage on West 25th Street between 6th and 7th Ave in Chelsea, open Saturdays and Sundays. A little closer to midtown you can check out the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market on West 39th Street between 9th and 10th Ave.

If you happen to head to Chelsea, two great spots to stop from lunch would be either RUB or Cafeteria. RUB BBQ is a new york staple BBQ joint (208 W 23rd between 7th Ave and 8th Ave). You don’t even have to like meat. The fried pickles and cheese fries are AMAZING! Cafeteria is a bit fancier, but still just as much a new york staple. You can try to go for brunch…  if you can get in. There is always a pack of people waiting outside for a table. It is definetly one of the “it” places to be in Chelsea. 

Enjoy the first week of spring!
