These Former Railroad Tracks..
























One of the highlights of my current NYC trip was a stroll through The Highline. Not only is it in one of the coolest towns, Chelsea, and next to the Meatpacking District, but this old freight train track turned park has pretty decent views of the Hudson River and of the town. I really wished it hadn't been raining because i would've enjoyed laying out on the benches for a while, soaking in the fresh breeze. I don't really care for flowers (except sunflowers of course) but it is nice to see some pretty colors mixed with green in the great Metropolitan city.





If you're into different kind of views, you might get lucky and catch some exhibitionists standing by the floor to ceiling windows at The Standard Hotel which is right next to/above the park.


I rate this 5 stars. <3

Pumpkin Patch: Compliments of Old Navy







The ladies and I were trotting along the Meatpacking District and stumbled upon a pumpkin patch in the middle of 9Th and Ganesvoort St. It was hosted by Old Navy and they had candy, a pumpkin decorating table, brain water, and lotsooo pumpkins. Pretty neat, considering the fact that it was pouring and we weren't really expecting to bump into such festivities.



Amy named the Old navy Mannequins. That's Rosa....


and this is Bruce.


Check out the little kid on the top left corner of the picture. LOL!


Best decorated pumpkin out there.


Organic Brain water. It was OK.


"Taylor, I'm really happy for you and Ima let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best carved pumpkins of all time!"


How funny is this?





Lady gaga on the lower left, looking fierce even on a pumpkin.


Thanks for the picture Old Navy. <3
