Day #21- Tuesday

Tuesday. Oh my, where does the time go? Today was Amy's last day with us.

We knew we had better make it a good one as she had to leave at 1:00. We walked over to a place she had been wanting to go to, the Chelsea Market. This is a neat little building- it used to be an old Nabisco factory. It was turned into a cool shopping and eating mecca, full of fabulous deli's, kitchen stores, specialty items and gourmet foods. And to make it even cooler, the top floor of this building is where Food Network has their studios! FOOD NETWORK!!! So we went with high hopes of spotting a Food Network celebrity.

Sadly, we never did see one. But we did have a yummy breakfast while we were there. We went to a place called Sarabeth's, and we all had omelettes.

Amy had the veggie omelette with mushrooms, spinach, red peppers, and cheddar:

Scott had an omelette with apple butter and cheddar cheese inside (sounds weird, right?)

Well, it was. First bite or two were good, then it was too sweet.

I had the spinach and goat cheese omelette. It was pretty good.

I guess this is as close as I'll get to any Food Network stars:

Poo.

We finally gave up on any star sightings, and went shopping for the remainder of Amy's time. She said that the only regret she had was that we didn't get to go to Bagatelle Brunch, which we tried to make reservations for but we couldn't get in.

She left at 1:00, and then Scott and I worked until 5:00.

After work, we walked around and did some more shopping. As it's the end of summer, everything is on sale, so it's hard not to take advantage! I got these shoes for $27!

We decided then that it was dinner time, so we walked home to change.

And I wore my new shoes. Ok, the dress was new too. And the bracelet :-)

Scott wore new jeans, new shoes, and a new shirt:

(Needless to say, we've done a lot of shopping here!)

We went to Blue Ribbon Sushi as we haven't been here yet this trip. The sushi here is so good. We started off with an appetizer of tempura vegetables:

These were just lightly fried in a thin, crispy batter. Very light! We had okra, eggplant, squash, mushroom, and that green leaf is some type of Japanese vegetable that I'm not sure of the name.

Check out our sushi tray:

From top left to right: Blue Fin Tuna sashimi, Hamachi sashimi, Quail egg shooters, Hamachi and mushroom straw roll, and Tuna, Salmon, and Hamachi roll. Mmm!

We also had sake, which came in these cute little wooden boxes:

After a nice light meal, we walked home and called it a night.
