Remember a couple best car rental rates from newark airport of weeks ago when thousands of book bloggers gathered in New York for BEA ? Well, I have a confession to make. I was there, too, but did not attend BEA (gasp!). My daughter lives in the city and, since she was off Thursday and Friday morning, I decided on an impromptu visit.
Thursday morning, we walked to Chelsea Market and met up with a small group for a Foods of New York Tour . Our guide Darryl, a delightfully funny actor who often broke out in song, entertained us for three hours as we ate our way through Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District.
Weekend Cooking , hosted at Beth Fish Reads , is open to anyone who has a food-related post to share: Book (novel, nonfiction) reviews, cookbook reviews, movie reviews, recipes, random thoughts, gadgets, quotations, photographs. If your post is even vaguely foodie, feel free to grab the button and link up over the weekend.
We missed you at BEA, but I m glad that you had such a wonderful tour. I always bring people to Chelsea Market and to the Highline, they really are must-sees in NYC. I love your photos too! Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 16, 2013 at 10:34 AM
Diane - I came in Wed for dinner and left after breakfast on Friday... best car rental rates from newark airport too short a visit! Was wishing I had tickets for BEA and could have stayed an extra day or two. Delete Reply rhapsodyinbooks June 15, 2013 at 1:35 PM
This was so fun to see! I love food tours. :) Every time I go to NYC I spend the vast majority of my time planning what I ll eat next. Thanks for sharing the photos. Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 16, 2013 at 10:39 AM
What fun!! Soon after I moved to Boston I took a culinary walking tour of the North End ... samples, inside information, and fresh pasta! Yours sounds equally delicious (except for those scary spiny things on the produce stand). Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 16, 2013 at 10:43 AM
The only think I m sorry about is that you didn t tell us you were in the city! We could have met for lunch, dinner, or a drink! I love the High Line -- it s one of my favorite places and a great place for photography. Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 16, 2013 at 10:46 AM
Beth F - I ve already got BEA dates saved for next year. I was regretting the quick trip almost as soon as I arrived. Was on the train home after breakfast on Friday :( Delete Beth F June 17, 2013 at 5:51 AM
What a fun time! I grew up just outside of Philly, yet I never made the trip to New York, as close as it was on a train. This sounds like a fantastic walkabout best car rental rates from newark airport the city and I see you had much choice in good things to eat and drink. Thank for sharing!

Kathy - Wouldn t it be fun if a group of bloggers did a tour next year? This one was 3 hours, but they have some that are only 2... might be a nice break from BEA festivities! Delete Reply Booksnyc June 16, 2013 at 6:56 PM
I took this tour last year when I had guests best car rental rates from newark airport in town! It was really good. Author Adriana Trigiani is adding a food tour to her offerings and I want to try it too! Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 16, 2013 at 8:41 PM
Colleen - Our guide was excellent, and so was all the food... best car rental rates from newark airport I d love to do one of the other food tours sometime. Will look into Trigiani s tours - that would be fun! Delete Kristin June 17, 2013 at 10:52 AM
I just did one of Adriana Trigiani s walking book tours this past weekend. My mom and I did the Greenwich Village walking tour and it was fantastic!!! We started in Greenwich Village, made our way through that and over to the Meatpacking best car rental rates from newark airport district and then walked the Highline from the beginning to Chelsea Market where the tour ended. After my mom and I grabbed a quick bite to eat for lunch (at Amy s Breads) we continued walking the Highline to the end. It was so much fun and I definitely want to do another walking tour in city. The tour you did sounds fun, too! Delete JoAnn June 17, 2013 at 9:29 PM

I was going to say how awful that you didn t go to BEA but then after reading about your awesome tour I think more people should take time out of BEA to be foodies for a few hours :) Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 18, 2013 at 7:59 PM
What a fun tour! You ve inspired me to create a travel board on Pinterest just for this post! The food all sounds delicious, particularly the grilled cheese, quiche, and scones. Good thing you were walking, huh? ;) Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 18, 2013 at 8:01 PM
Thank goodness for you and your daughter, JoAnn. Although I grew up in the suburbs of NYC, lived in the city for several years spent the rest of my life in Brooklyn so far, I had no idea there are food walking best car rental rates from newark airport tours of NYC neighborhoods. I m also ashamed to admit I haven t been to Chelsea Market, yet. But I now have a terrific reason to drag my husband there...he loves free food! and what a wonderful way to spend a Saturday or Sunday! I really enjoyed this post and appreciate you sharing your day! How much fun you seem to be having with your daughter best car rental rates from newark airport being in the city! Reply Delete Replies JoAnn June 24, 2013 at 7:26 PM
Amy - I keep trying to find fun things do whenever I visit... and you definitely can t go wrong with food and sightseeing. Next time (when it s cooler) I d like to see the entire HIgh Line. Delete Reply Add comment Load more...
