Hello,

Welcome to the next part of my NYC adventure.

One of my friends suggested going to the Chelsea markets and you all know how I can’t resist a good market.

This Market was not your typical market it was more an arcade with small stores and food and veg.

I thought it was the best place to try some fresh oysters (at 10 am).

I have to say I love oysters I could eat a whole dozen. I asked the lady in the fish shop which was more of a restaurant then a fish shop what the local oysters were as I was from Australia and wanted to try the ones here. She laughed at me and said “The oysters in Australia are better”.

then she pointed out 2 that were from the coast of NY .

They were VERY nice, a lot less salty then ours, they even kind of taste sweet.

I ate the 4 that I bought and could have eaten a heap more but I thought I shouldn’t eat so many that early in the morning.

After we wondered around the market for a while my brother in law had suggested we check out the “High Line Park” which is unique park that is a 1.45-mile-long  that was created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan in New York.

The high line took us all the way to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum. Which was a fitting day to go as it was Memorial day.

For Memorial Day many veterans volunteer and were happy to share some of their stories.

I found “Growler” the submarine one of the most interesting thing at Intrepid.

It was so small and compact that I don’t know how people would live in there for months at a time.

Next Stop HOBOKEN………

But you will need to wait till next post…
