We were tired on day 3 and desired to rest our feet. We walked less this time, but it was still a lot. As part of our goal to make the most out of our budget, we intended to visit some famous or well-known tourist attraction in NY. Though, we were tired we still walked towards our destinations. Tired, but happy feet!
Places we visited:
Greenwich Village. The place looked so vintage and imbibed liberalism for some reason maybe because from what I heard some of the most famous writers lived there.
Chelsea Market. Another vintage place we went to, and it was so fancy. I ate kimbap beef rolls and it was so good. I got the rolls from an Asian store inside the Chelsea Market.
The High Line. I was not what we were looking for when we were trying to find this place. When we got there, I just realized that The High Line wa like a platform above the service road. It had glass walls to view the slightly busy road.
The Vessel. Another tourist spot that I was not do familiar with. When we got there, the infrastructure looked like a honey comb for me and I did not know what was the purpose of the honey comb like building. The Vessel was near another tourist spot called The Edge and we did not get to see it up close.
Macy's. The world's largest store. Wow! It has scalator made out of wood. Wood!
Edge Hudson Yards. We did not avail this tourist attraction. It was too pricey for and did not make any sense why would I wanted to go there.
Empire State Building. Tall, old, elegant, and wow! We did not do the tour for this one too because it was pricey for me too, and again did not make sense. We just took some pictures outside the building and inside which specifically at the lobby part only.
Jollibee. We missed Jollibee food. The Jollibee branch was at Time Square. Yey! Yum!
Food we ate:
Kimbap Beef Bulgogi Rolls. I had at Chelsea Market. It was a bit pricey and if I was in the Philippines I would hesitate to buy it. But I had to try it and treat myself a little. I felt like I was eating sushi rolls.
Jollibee. Yey! We had fries, fried chicken joy, spaghetti, and pies. Yay! So yum!
Snickers. Sweet treat for my sweet tooth. Chocolate was my dessert.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” ~Matthew 11:28-30
I was a fourth wheel in a parents and son trip. My boyfriend's parents were kind to let me tag along on the Gruene, Texas trip. Thank you. I enjoyed it!
Gently resisting change since 1872.
When I heard Gruene, Texas, I thought it was spelled as 'Green' and it turned it was not. Tada! It was one of the coolest places I visited in the US. I am fond of the downtown vibes and Gruene downtown did let me down. I am glad the government continue to preserve and take care of the place.
Originally settled over a century ago, Gruene is a snapshot of Texas culture and history come-to-life. With 15 walkable acres designated a National Historic District, visitors can shop, dine, and dance within the walls of the original township buildings.The ideal balance of preservation and progress, Gruene Historic District is a Texas travel industry darling for good reason. From tacos to onion rings, antiques to cowboy hats, and Americana music to blues, every doorway leads you to something unforgettable. Gruene is for people who love good music, fun times, and old things!
Cool places we visited in Gruene, Texas:
Gruene Outfitters. It has a lot of cool stuffs for the wild. From shirts to fishing rod, the store has a lot to offer for you to be born to be wild.
The Pomegranate. It has a lot of girly things and they are little pricey. There was a sale but I did not get any that I might need.
Gruene Hat Company. Yeehaw hats for y'all! I tried one hat and it fell on the floor a few minutes after I hanged it back on the hook. My bad! I thought I embarassed my boyfriend and his parents because of what happened because he asked me to move on to the next store hehe
Greune Antique Company. Lots of old, vintage, and curious stuff and memorabilia were in the store. Wow!
Cotton Eyed Joe's. It is a souvenir shop for y'all! I got a small pocket keychain kinfe for my father.
Gruene General Store. My boyfriend and I tried a lot of different peanut butter spread with free itsy bitsy crackers too. Free taste is for the go always y'all! My favorite was salted caramel paenut butter. Yum! I also tried the coin vending machine souvenir at this store. I forgot what it was called, I have to asked my boyfriend.
Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar. We had our lunch at Gristmill and I ordered Chicken Fried Steak with Original Round Cut Fries. It was so good, but they could make the fries crispy. My boyfriend got BBQ Ribs and I got a taste of it. Yum! His mom ordered the same as mine but had green beans on the side, and it was also good in all fairness, and it provided the additional fiber I needed. Yay! Healthy! hehe His father got a burger and fries. The weather was getting cold and it was expected since there was a storm warning. It was winter season after all.
The Company Store. It was another souvenir shop we went to and I noticed on the informational brochure that the store was not listed there. Probably, a new shop. They had shirts, caps, and Christmas tree ornaments.
Gruene Hall. The Texas Oldest Dance Hall, y'all! It looked so olds and there was a lot of framed pictures on the wall of singers and actors who performed songs and shot a film. My boyfriend and I got to dance on the hall and it was a silly-sweet dance, that was so much fun!
The Great Texas Pecan Candy Co. They all got varieties of candied pecan. The store staff handed us free pecans for tasting. Yum! I ended up buying Pecan Beer Nuts. Yum! I thought it had beer, but when I read the ingredients it only had pecan, salt, and sugar.
The Black Smith. The name spoke for itself. The store had tools made out of metal. They forged most of their products on sale. They had knives, bags, and accessories.
San Marcos Premium Outlet. Last stop was the outlet. I did not buy any and my boyfriend got two books from BAM which stood for Books A Million. They had a lot of books and a huge manga collection. Yippie! Yey!
Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
