Chelsea Market

If you happen to stumble into the the west end meat packing district of NYC you must make your way into Chelsea market! Built amongst the crumbs of an old cookie factory, Chelsea market has some of the best bakeries, chocolate stores, fish markets that NY has to offer!
Great to spend a slow afternoon and watch the bustle of people coming in to grab a coffee and fresh pastry
Delicious!

Food truck heaven

While strolling down NYC we had to stop and taste the latest fad that is food trucks.... And if you haven't watched an episode of "Eat Street" get on that... Some of the food varieties out of trucks are amazing! Anyways, needless to say the 3 of us needed to check them out for ourselves! Enter taco and cupcakes! We were so excited they actually have great flavor and varieties, who knew!

Those where the only two we tried however we did see our far share of unique food truck cuisine from specialty cakes and cheesecakes to breakfast special sandwiches eggs Benny to Indian, Japanese, etc etc...
Too bad it flopped in Toronto it's a great concept and something to definitely chat about!

New York the food mecca of the world

New York, my second city home. It's true when people say you fall in love with that city more and more each and every time you go. I went over mid December with some friends for shopping and of course eating! What better way to share vacation time and adventure stories than over food at NYC foodie specialties. I fell in LOvE with an Italian's heaven "Eataly" located in the flat iron district, this italian's north American dream is set up as a marketplace where you can stroll in and get home made pasta made daily, fresh meat and fish, all the finest in olive oils, Italian imported ingredients, cheese emporiums and bakeries bakeries bakeries....and at the back a small resto where all these delicious foods come together. Needless to say you will be salivating from entry to exit!

Walking through the aisles brought me back to my days and the ingredients my Nonna's would use and the stories that accompanied the meals and recipes. That is what Eataly gave me. A nostalgic reenactment of the days I would watch all these ingredients, foods and meals using all the familiar foods around me come together by the ones that are now gone. This place brought me back to the basement kitchens of my family home and the memories and stories we shared and that will always be remembered

Happy memories
