Cracka of a day. The sun was out and it all started to heat up. James went to work, Bel was asleep and i went for a run down the Chelsea boardwalk along side the west highway. Nice paved wide track for runners and bikes. After a 9km run and a quick shower (Bel was STILL asleep when i got home), we headed up to the rockefeller centre to check out the view from the top.
After a *ahum* altercation with another tourist we took an awesome 65 floor ride. 45 seconds to the top and the ceiling was clear with starwars type lights – awesome.
The view from the top was AMAZING. After many photos (and loosing the lens cap to the camera) we heading down to the meat packing district for lunch at The Standard Grill.
VERY showy, it doesn’t help that it is friday afternoon of fashion week. We saw a fashion show in the street whilst we went for a walk on the “highline”.
The highline was an elevated train line constructed inthe early 1900′s on the west side. It has been gentrified with a nice path, plants and all. About 2km’s long – nice walk. Then to get a coffee from starbucks whilst we walked thru the Chelsea Market – great space. Was the old Nabisco Biscuit factory many moons ago.
