Sorry for the unannounced disappearance but I have been traveling like crazy! I’ve been New York, Baltimore, Chicago and now I’m back in New York! I was supposed to fly to San Francisco from Chicago but missed my flight (actually I missed the entire airport since I accidentally went to the wrong one!). I was going to be stuck in Chicago overnight because all the San Francisco flights were booked up so I hopped on a plane back to New York City instead! Might not make much sense to some but made perfect sense to me. I am now in New York and having a great time wandering the city alone once again! Did I mention I love this city??
The above photo was taken at the Union Square Greenmarket which I discovered on my very first day in New York. I will be writing more about the Greenmarket as well as all of the rest of my adventures (including the foodblogging class by Matt Armendariz and Blogher conference) in a series of posts starting soon. Once I get to California, I will have use of a kitchen again which means new recipes and food photos. Stay tuned!
hi nicole! how exciting! it’s been ages since i’ve gotten to do much traveling… heck it’s been almost a decade since i’ve been to new york. i can’t wait to hear all about blogher and see some new gorgeous food posts from you!
2:23 am Aug 2nd, 2007How completely fun. I wish I was in New York too! Very fun hanging out with you in Chicago. Remember, Salt Lake is between New York and California and I have a sofa bed.
2:52 am Aug 2nd, 2007Welcome back to New York! It is indeed a fantastic city. It was terrific having dim sum with you a couple of weeks ago–if you’re here for a while and would like to go chowhounding drop me a line!
3:15 am Aug 2nd, 2007It’s good to have you back! I was getting very hungry waiting for your next recipe. Will you (and spouse) be posted back in the USA? I am also a great fan of NYC, but as a California native,here is where good food begins!
3:54 am Aug 2nd, 2007I keep checking in, I’m glad to see a note about your travels! My wife and I wandered through the same Union Square Greenmarket just earlier this year. (While it was nice and frosty, still open though!) It’s hard not to love NYC!
Just for a change of pace, you should head down here to Hotlanta!
4:59 am Aug 2nd, 2007Wow! What a fantastice stack of veg… and you can actually touch them! We’re not allowed…
7:40 am Aug 2nd, 2007Have fun flying around..
Now that is a market! Our hometown had an awesome farmer’s market every weekend, took up half of the main street. (can we say small town?) I really miss having all the fresh yummy good stuff as the produce section in the local grocery stores where we’ve moved to kind of stinks.
11:53 am Aug 2nd, 2007Nicole, your posts were missed. Funny, you’re back in N. America and I’ll be soon in Europe….snowball!
12:16 pm Aug 2nd, 2007Sounds like your having a blast! Nice to hear your having such a wonderful time. Looking forward to your California visit!
2:18 pm Aug 2nd, 2007Cousin, I am here too right now! So Excited! Email me if you would like to meet up somewhere, I am with my cousin Andie who also lives in Manhattan.
2:19 pm Aug 2nd, 2007So glad you’re getting a little more NYC time, Nicole! That’s very cool. Enjoy your time and your wanderings…I’m wishing you peace and good things to eat, no matter what.

4:21 pm Aug 2nd, 2007Welcome back, Nicole! It was great to meet you, however briefly, at the food bloggers dinner in Chicago. I’m looking forward to hearing about the Union Square Greenmarket. The farmers markets in Chicago unfortunately have a ways to go.

Terry B: It was great to meet you guys and I LOVED the restaurant you picked! I wish we would have had more time to chat but I know I’ll be back in Chicago someday because I loved the city and didn’t get to spend nearly enough time exploring!
