Yesterday started at Chelsea Market. There are numerous food vendors (mostly bakeries) but very little seating if your party of 7 wants to purchase foods from different restaurants. I had a piece of Sicilian pizza with prosciutto and arugula. The crust is a little thicker than Neopolitian. We then walked the High Line, a 1.4 mile walk 20' above the street level on an old elevated train track. I think it would have been prettier later in the year when things are blooming. Then to the Guggenheim which was a real WOW. The Frank Lloyd Wright designed building is perfect for viewing the modern art.
In the afternoon we took the train out to Flushing to the "best dim sum restaurant in NYC". Eh. Maybe because we got there at 4 PM. There were no dim sum carts, just a selection of about 8 on the menu, all pretty pedestrian, although delicious. The service was terrible. We were essentially ignored. The rest of the menu was extensive so we supplemented the dim sum with soup and stir fry which were quite good. Then it was a short walk to Citi Stadium for a Mets game. It was fun to go to a different ball park. They have steak sandwiches, hot pastrami and Jim Beam cocktails. Sadly, it was so cold that we only lasted 6 innings. We must have been in the Jewish section as most of the men were wearing yarmulkes.. Bartolo Colon pitched - at age 43. He had played for the Mets for years but now plays for Atlanta.
Today, a food tour. Tonight Carnegie Hall.
