At about 11am we left the hotel and walked from 54th down to 34th, then walked on 34th to Hudson Yards and Vessel. From there we walked the High Line to Chelsea Market which I thought was going to be a big flea market. I was wrong.
There is a small area with a few stalls for artists and "makers", but the majority of Chelsea Market was eateries and storefronts. It was not a bad experience, just not what I expected. Todd was hungry so he had a slice of pizza pugliese and a lemon soda from a place called Filaga which he said was really good. Then he stopped in Amy's Bread for a black and white cookie which was good, but not as good as the one we'd had earlier in the week.
After Chelsea Market we zigzagged our way north about 2 miles on foot to Grand Central Terminal. By that time I was hungry so I got a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich at Art Bird & Whiskey Bar. The sandwich was good with a thick piece of chicken. If the chicken had been crispy it would have put it over the top for me.
We looked around a bit, went up the steps to the Apple Store, then left to go back to the hotel. On the way we walked through Bryant Park.

| While walking through Chelsea on the High Line, I was fascinated by this old building with barrel-shaped windows. It was fenced off and there was lots of construction equipment around - it looked like it was being renovated. |
