Marvelous Meal in Manhattan

Market Table

We spent the day in Manhattan.  First we went to the Museum of Art and Design, which is located on Columbus Circle.  We really enjoyed the museum -- they had an exhibit of a wide variety of miniatures that was entertaining, and a gorgeous gift shop.  We also went into Time Warner Center -- basically just a glitzy, chrome-and-glass shopping center.  Then we took the subway down to the Village to use one of the gift certificates I received as a retirement gift from my friends at Ramsey County.  Market Table is known for using fresh, in-season, and locally-grown (when possible) ingredients in their offerings.  Mark ordered the skate (in picture foreground) and I ordered the chicken.  We also ordered Prosecco cocktails.  The meal was absolutely marvelous!!!!  After our meal, we wandered through the Village, over to Washington Square Park (renovated with beautiful gardens), then to the Union Square Green Market.  John works near Union Square, so we called to see if he could meet us for a beer, which he did.  By then it had started raining, so it was a great tavern weather.  Then we trudged through the rain to Whole Foods to pick up goodies for dinner, and then headed back to New Jersey.  A very fun day.
