Happy Halloween from Chelsea Market

Happy Halloween! I cannot believe tomorrow is November! The time has just been flying by this year! I thought I would show some scenes from Chelsea Market as they have some pretty scary Halloween decor. 

Did you know located in Chelsea Market was the National Biscuit Company? The former home office of Nabisco, it is such a small world, isn't it ?  

If you stop here you need to stop by our favorite Fat Witch for some totally wonderful brownies. 

The baby witches are just too cute to eat!  

 

No matter how many times I see this guy, I still get spooked!  He really could use a teeth whitening system! 

They really go all out for this holiday!  

I wish I could carve a pumpkin that well  

Another must stop is the Artists and Fleas, especially for unique holiday gifts  

Pamela Barsky's stand is one of my absolute faves! 

Hours: Monday - Saturday: 7am to 2am, Sunday: 8am to 10pm

Address: 75 9th Avenue (Between 15th and 16 Streets), New York, NY 10011

It's Fall Foodie Season

I think either you love pumpkin, or your hate it. I am one of those who love it, and always glad to see it back in season. I am still not sure where the summer went, but will be glad for the milder weather coming up. There are other flavors associated with Fall, like apples, cinnamon, and maple, which I like as well.  

The apple strudel found at Cafe Sabarsky is the best you will find in NYC!  

I think carrot cake goes well for the season of fall, and this selection from Donna Bell's Bake Shoppe will make you very happy!  

Donna Bell's cinnamon scones are to die for!  

This is Donna Bell's as well, I don't think you can purchase anything here that is bad. Just not possible.  

An amazing chocolate haunted house from the great chocolate shop L.A. Burdick !  

I really love the Libby's pumpkin cookies this time of year, they are so nice and soft, cake-like of a cookie. You can check out their recipe HERE. I like to add chocolate chips sometimes as well. 

My Mom was a big fan of Cider as well, I don't have the same love for that myself.

What is your favorite food to enjoy during the Fall season ?
