Eating Our Way Around The Meatpackers

I should've written about this gorgeous food tour earlier but i am having troubles remembering the exact names of the food we tasted so eh, i'm just gonna wing it now. But let me tell ya, this was one of the best days we had in new york. An extensive insight into the seedy history of the Meatpacking District (aka Samantha's neighborhood), a nice stroll along the Chelsea Food Markets (best indoor airconditioned market i've ever seen!), and all while woofing down the delicious food produce of the shops we pass-by (hmmm, hmmm!). So from the time we started with brekkie foods, to when its time to sit down for desserts, we always had room for more.









It really helps to have a funny and entertaining tour guide. Though i can't for the life of me remember his name now, so let's just call him Larry - just becos he told us if he spotted a transvestite during our walk, he would yell out "there's Larry!". You see, the Meatpacking District was once ridden with transvestite and prostitutes on the streets before the upperclassmen decided to take it from them and make it into the 'new hang for the rich'. Poor Larrys (the real ones, not our tour guide) they have been driven out of their turf into the streets in the Bronx.

Anyway back to what really matters ... the food. In chronological order, this is what i ate that morning.
