Talk a Walk on the West Side
Guest Blogger: Sarah Protzman, NewNewYorkers
Spend an afternoon playing foodie, and walk it off as you admire some architecture. These three pit stops on the West Side of Manhattan are not to be missed.
Manganaro
488 Ninth Avenue at 37th Street
A family-owned Italian eatery established in 1893, Manganaro’s is perfect for a late weekday lunch, complete with no-frills plastic tablecloths right out of old New York.
Chat up Marissa Dell’Orto-Alex, who grew up in the store — she’s a fascinating consummate New Yorker who, when she’s got the time, will entertain you with all manner of stories. Order the antipasti, and do not mention the feud .
The High Line
Various entrances; elevator at 14th Street and Tenth Avenue
From there, head to the much-anticipated High Line, a new park built on an elevated railroad overlooking the Meatpacking District. As it gets warmer, those chaise lounges overlooking the Hudson will get crowded, so head over for sun and a stroll! It’s easily navigable, but here’s a great map. When it was in operation (1934 to 1980), the High Line carried meat, agricultural goods and mail to West Side neighborhoods.
Chelsea Market
75 Ninth Avenue at 16th Street
A short jaunt from the Highline, this gourmet paradise will make you wonder why you order takeout so much. Everything from Saltines to Oreos was made at this former site of the National Biscuit Company, now the delightful Chelsea Market. As you meander the hallways, don’t miss The Lobster Place (oysters on the half shell!) and the cupcakes at Eleni’s. They also have sample sales and live music — an events calendar is on the Web site.
