SHOPS

A me&t weekend would not be complete without what else --- shopping!  We shopped so much we were all shopped out (if that is possible).

Chelsea Market
Original home of the National Biscuit Company (c. 1890) it now houses restaurants and shops on the first floor.  Including Anthropologie, Bowery Kitchen Shop, Fat Witch Bakery, etc.  Our favorite were two different "pop-up" spaces including the new "Artists & Fleas".  We loved the local artisans, their warm welcome and all they had to offer.




High Line
The High Line is not a shop but a public park built on an historic freight rail line.  It was so windy that day we just had to meander down below to the Meatpacking District.  Enter Tory Burch.  One t grabbed some picks while a bunch of ladies were shopping in style, sipping their champagne.  We even spotted a shopper with a Goyard bag.



Brooklyn Flea
The flea moves outdoors from April through November.  This location is the flagship spot known as the Fort Greene Flea and is situated on the schoolyard of a local high school.  Being the flea market lovers that we are, we had lots to check out.  A different feel than the indoor location but still many great picks.




C. Wonder
Tory Burch's ex-husband (Christopher) opened this shop in Soho.  More Kate Spade like with lots of preppy accessories, clothing and housewares at great price points.  There was a DJ at the front entrance spinning some tunes and the dressing rooms had individual controls to dim the lights!  Fun destination to check out.
