After growing up in New York, it was easy for us to go off to college with the notion that we knew the city like the backs of our hands. However, when we got home from college, we realized there is so much more to the city than what we had seen, and so we made a pact to explore a new neighborhood every week. On the one day of sunshine we had last week, we took a trip down to lower Chelsea and Greenwich, where we quickly regretted not having brought a picnic basket to eat outside on the High Line, New York's once elevated railway that has been seamlessly transformed into a beautiful park. Before climbing the High Line, we tasted samples from eateries in the Chelsea Market like Jacques Torres and got smoothies at the Ronneybrook Milk Bar. Then after strolling down the High Line, we saw so many adorable restaurants in Greenwich that we decided to pick up business cards of all the places we wanted to come back to try. At last, we decided to stop for a quick pick-me-up at the Chocolate Bar, where the iced mint mocha was the perfect way to end the first of our New York adventures.
