Alex usually has to work on the weekends so whenever he manages to score a day off during the weekend, we try to do something special. Sometimes something special means spending the day inside and having a marathon of some sort (e.g. the House of Cards marathon we had a couple of weeks ago). But other times we venture out into our beautiful city and do a bit of exploring, which is something we rarely get the chance to do.
This past Saturday Alex had the day off so we decided to visit the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market, which we actually had never been to before. All in all we really loved it, aside from the obvious absence of food, which is of course, our favorite thing about the Williamsburg Flea Market. However, the true test to gauge whether or not a flea market is any good is whether or not you find anything worthy of taking home with you. I managed to walk away with an equestrian print silk scarf for $3 (seen here), as well as a vintage Longchamp bag that I was able to get down to $25. Success!
After our flea market experience, we grabbed lunch before strolling through Bryant Park on our way over to Grand Central. While in Grand Central we picked up some jumbo macarons from Eli’s (big surprise) and the hopped on the subway and headed uptown. Once uptown, we popped into Banana Republic where I proceeded to take pictures of Alex as he tried on suits. We then ended our evening with dinner and a movie. It was a really lovely Saturday and I hope to have many more just like it in the future.
