We stayed at the wonderful Hotel Indigo Chelsea. We love this hotel. Great location (just a few blocks from Penn Station). Stylishly decorated. Great and attentive staff. More importantly, relatively affordable for a Manhattan hotel.
You can't go wrong with a NYC bagel for breakfast. My husband's delish everything bagel from Brooklyn Bagel and Coffee Company:
We had our first trip to High Line Park. I've been wanting to visit this mile-and-a-half-long elevated public park since it opened last year. High Line is the reworking of a 1930s elevated railway. It is such a great public space perfect for a lazy stroll.
Because I love food markets, we also visited the Chelsea Market.
Sister-in-law lives in West Village near the small and beautiful Abingdon Square Park. We stopped here to rest our tired feet for awhile.
We also went to Brooklyn to check out Prospect Height and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The cherry blossom trees were beyond beautiful (actually, the whole place was).
We also had a chance to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Inspiring. A must-see for everyone.
A visit to NYC means many great meals. We had perfect meals at Spotted Pig (pictured below) and Boqueria. Highly recommend!
I'm pretty obsessed with cupcakes, so of course, we had to visit a bakery or two. I tried cupcakes from Billy's Bakery and Magnolia Cafe. My vote for the better cupcake goes to Magnolia Cafe (their cupcake is pictured below). Billy's Bakery was not at all bad, just too sweet for me.
I can't believe how much we did in 2 days.
Hope to see you again soon, NYC!
