One of Suann's gifts to me was a trip into the city, a walk on The High Line (http://www.thehighline.org/) and a visit to a bookstore of two. The High Line was great - we went in early the Saturday after Christmas and while there were other walkers it wasn't nearly as crowded as it was when we left a few hours later. After walking we visited Chelsea Market (http://www.chelseamarket.com/), an indoor food hall that also has a few shops, including Posman Books (one of three locations for this family owned bookstore).
Posman was packed - with books and people. The signage wasn't great but my best guess is they "tabled" the good stuff (as opposed to putting it on the shelves and it was here that I found Diane Muldrow's, Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Golden Book. Muldrow has paired illustrations from numerous titles in the Golden Books series and paired them with advice as simple as, "Go fly a kite," (from Chicken Little) to "Don't forget to stop and smell the strawberries," (from The Pokey Little Puppy).
And because Suann was with me, we also bought Aernoud Bourdrez's, Think Like a Lawyer Don't Act Like One
Posman Books can be found on the web at: http://www.posmanbooks.com/
As for the food...well, I would suggest you stop at The Doughnuterry (http://www.doughnuttery.com/). Of course - there are about 35 other places to eat, including Sarabeth's Bakery, Amy's Bread and a lobster joint so there's plenty to choose from.
