We had a really low key Labor Day Weekend. Saturday we caught the bus down to the farmer's market at Union Square Park at 14th Street between Broadway and Park Avenue. This is all truly locally or at least regionally grown produce. The place was packed but we didn't care as the weather spectacular...better than I can ever remember. Seventy degrees, no humidity (37%), and a nice steady breeze. We bought quite a lot of produce including the largest radishes I have ever seen, as big as golf balls. We grabbed quick sandwich at a great BBQ restaurant, believe it or not. Hopped on a return bus and ran into a street fair where we rounded out our late lunch with some fresh roasted corn on the cob (fresh as in husk still attached).
Sunday was another great weather day and we decided to head for Central Park again. Toni put together a chicken sandwich picnic lunch and we grabbed the New York Times and read it cover to cover while sitting on a park bench at the mall. Then we went to Bethesda Fountain and watched the rowboats at the Loeb Boathouse before heading home.
Nothing too exciting, just hanging around the city before Fall kicks in.
