Ice skating…chess…bocci ball…lunch al fresco and shopping! Bryant Park has it all and even more inviting on a 65 degree day as we head into winter. I love the outdoor holiday markets that spring up all over New York City this time of year. Rows and rows of small unique shops offering something for everybody, whether a gift for yourself <love those> or anyone on your Christmas and Hanukkah list. This isn’t your typical mall experience though…we’re talking small businesses with unique products. Businesses that are local and from all over the world…which brings me to a favorite…
Meet Jordan below…working at No Chewing Allowed where you’ll find the best chocolate fix ever. Made in France for three quarters of a century…carrying on the roots of the traditional French Truffle…passed on from generation to generation…
This is what I love about a business…bringing us the best of the best from the generations before us and there is no doubt…No Chewing Allowed delivers. That rich creamy feel on the tongue…just letting it melt in your mouth. As my father would always say…so good it’s sinful! Oh, and if you chew…you’re definitely missing out on the experience!
Besides the unique small shops…it’s the people that hang out here that makes it all so interesting too!
There are many other holiday markets here in the city this time of year…
Columbus Circle…Grand Central…Chelsea Market…to name a few…
which is amazing to think the holidays are just around the corner!

Heading to the farm and will share more soon!

My girl, I totally adore your city and the images that you capture … it makes my heart happy to see all that you embrace & enjoy.
I agree with Susan above. You seem to always have an inside take on your city, which makes it different from everything else we might see!
Travel mercies as you’re off to the farm. Say HI to your mom from all of us who’ve grown to love her.
I agree with Susan and Ginnie both. What a daily wonderful experience you have, you live your life to the utmost.
Have a wonderful time with your mom and enjoy, Safe travels.
Love and hugs.
That ice skating looks so easy and fun… makes me want to try it again… my first attempt, years ago, didn’t go so well… I love the shot of the guy holding his balls. Too cute! Love and miss you. XoXo
You take me places I’d love to go
and the view you share is so much what I’d look to see;
it’s such a gift what you do with your camera.
Thanks for your generous eyes,
Jennifer
Yes, please – how cool is this? Markets plus ice skating plus taking pictures – this is the perfect way to spend one’s time.
