We had breakfast at the Stage Restaurant. This is an old school Polish Lunch counter that has been around for years. There are no tables, just a counter and stools.
The food is good and cheap.
Next order of business was to find Moira some rain boots. We tried Orchard Street in the Lower East Side, but no luck, so we hopped an uptown M15 to 14th street.
At 14, we decided to get out of the rain by taking the L train crosstown to Union Square. We then walked over to Designer Shoe Warehouse and got her a pair of red boots
Our next task was to find Yeshiva Museum, where Moira's internship will be. Turns out it is really close to Union Square.
We then decided to brave the rain and walk to the East Village Cheese Shop.
This place is amazing. We got Brie, smoked Gouda, and Cheshire. We then walked back to the Sanctuary to dry off.
Trying to think of things to do inside, we decided to go to Chelsea Market. There are tons of little restaurants and food related shops. Since it was National Doughnut Day, we got some mini-doughnuts from the Doughnuttery. Vanilla glaze and Lavendar pistachio. They were excellent.
Moira got some fancy chili powder from a cool spice place.
Next up was lunch. It was raining hard and we were wet and cold. The lunch decision did not come easily. We ended up at Vanessa's Dumpling on 14th. Not as good or as cheap as out favorite Prosperity Dumpling, but good and cheap all the same.
We then bussed our way to the Morgan Library. What an amazing place. We have not been there before. They had an exhibit on Illuminated Manuscripts and Moira got to see her first Gutenberg Bible.
As we were leaving, Tropical Storm Andrea was arriving in full force. We decided to take buses back, as they require less walking. There were high winds and cold blowing rain was we waited for the M34 then the M15. We were soaked and frozen, but a slice from Pronto Pizza on 2nd avenue helped a bit.
