being as it was definitely 75º today and dan and I got over our last night mini-drama I totally hauled my ass out of my house today and headed downtown to meet up with hannah, zoe, & sophie (rachel met up with us too!).
first we hit up chelsea market, (think throwback to the ferry building in san francisco, ca) this pretty legit open market terminal with different places to eat, pick up food, get ice cream, shop, etc. pretty word. I grabbed an apple (still keeping the passover!) and we headed out to hit up the highline. #1 I might just mention that the elevator to the highline is NEON GREEN on the inside. so fuckin' word. it was really like entering some really small alternate reality that lasted t-minus 10 seconds. anyway for those of you who live in a cave (like me) the highline is this awesome park that opened up downtown (elevator is on 14th & 10th) over the summer. it was designed to turn some old decrepit subway/el train rails into a park, a useable space. so the park is now a long walkway with much sunshine, a kick ass view of the river and great seating arrangements (if you get there early enough). being right over chelsea market doesn't hurt at all, either.
so while we were at the highline zoe told us about a free dr. dog concert at the apple store tonight so we totally hit that up. if you're looking for any new tunes, definitely check out dr. dog, a cute little 5-guy band from philly -- my favorite is the noise maker man, who was wearing matching pants and shits with this funky little plaid pattern, a brown leather vest & a fedora (or some type of hat). pretty much just stood there shakin' his maracas or some instrument to that effect.
post dr. dog a group of us hit up stand burger (yes, no more pesach!) where we gorged on delicious burgers and sweet potato fries (so yum)
headed uptown with rachel and just hung out. mind you all this was done in shorts, a flowy 3/4 length button down and moccasins. does it get any better than that? definitely not. pretty much the most perfect day.
