Tourists invade NYC!

Tourists, meaning us. Of course we had to go to Times Square (AGAIN!). It was SUPER crowded with the memorial day long weekend contributing to it, no less. We also went to our favourite place in NYC, Chelsea Market (thanks for recommending it to us, Sue!) which is a paradise of mouth watering food and desserts all under one roof. It's a must-go place for us everytime we head to NYC. There's the great (but expensive) Hale & Hearty soup, heavenly cupcakes at Eleni's, free intoxicating smells of brownie cooking at The Fat Witch, the best chocolate milkshake I've ever had at Ronnybrook Milk Bar (make sure you ask for choco milk with your choco milkshake - the best combo - or they'll give you white milk), a chef's equipment mini-warehouse at Bowery Kitchen Supply, wonderful jams at Sara Beth's, fantastic pastry at Amy's bread and thick fresh salmon sashimi at The Lobster Place. It's a food heaven, what more could one ask for? DIE DIE MUST TRY! The police swarmed Times Square as well, though for very different reasons.
Meg's so happy because she has broken free from her parents' iron clasp and is indulging in Uncle Damian's and Mama's eager-to-please/spoil tendencies. See how he's carrying her?!
Don't have many pix of the market this time round. Was too busy eating! :) This is the facade of Ronnybrook Milk Bar. Its interior is very cool and its walls are made up of antique wooden milk crates. My friend Ginnie tells me the interior was done by a small Brooklyn design firm, Studio A+I, which consists of a Singaporean architect and two other partners. Such a cool milk bar!
