at the green market this morning . .
and they are so crisp, juicy and delicious!
we walked downtown to duane park patisserie . .
work continues on the second big google building going up just south of houston street.
a building put up in . .
1891 . .
finally at duane park patisserie . .
we haven't visited since they reopened after renovating in june.
i tried their classic ring ding (which madeline, the chef, is well know for, and greg had an eclair.)
they added several more tables and a bar, and more savory lunch fare dishes.
walking home . . it was such a beautiful day with sunshine and a nice breeze.

Morgan said London was cold the other day. I said I wouldn't mind crisp, chilly autumn weather again :) It's been a little warmer here with welcome sunshine. Thankfully, not too warm!
DeleteHa, we saw all those heirloom apples at the GCV&M and you at the market. And your weather was also perfect. Now it is cold and rainy. Did you like the renovations in the café? Is that building from 1891 or is it supposed to look like it is from 1891?
ReplyDeleteHello Eva, the building is from 1891. I like how the cafe has more seating . . and that it offers more items that are savory.
DeleteAh, so it is old! It looks a lot like buildings in Germany from that time period.
DeleteMaybe it was built by German immigrants.
DeleteI did some research: This is what I found:
Delete"A New York City Landmark, this TriBeCa building was designed in 1891 by Stephen Decatur Hatch as the Fleming Smith warehouse with a unique combination of Romanesque Revival and Neo-Flemish styles. In the late 1970s, it became the first commercial building in the neighborhood to be converted for residential use."
Oh, that's so interesting! I think it's amazing that they would design such a seemingly nice place to be a warehouse :)
DeleteI guess it's that Romanesque and neo-Flemish style that reminds you of the buildings in Germany . . ?
DeleteTo me it looks like the Gründerzeit buildings. Here is a bit about it (under "Design and Architecture").
DeleteYes, just a bit more plain but similar.
