I was downtown today, and after strolling briefly (it was 22 degrees!) on the Highline, I wandered into Chelsea Market. It's a beautiful, industrial space that used to be home to the National Biscuit Company but now houses lots of retail stores and restaurants, as well as the Food Network offices. Friedman's is my favorite lunch place there, and Eleni's has amazing cupcakes and cookies. But I passed both of those up for a cup of the Genmai-cha at the T Salon. It's Japanese green tea with puffed brown rice. I also tried the vegan coconut cake - surprisingly good! I could spend hours in Chelsea Market and never get bored.
