Monday Mischief-Weasley Explores Madison Square Park and the Flat Iron District


On Sunday we took Weasley on a  train ride into Manhattan to check out the Flat Iron District.  Weasley is a real New Yorker comfortable on the train and unfazed by crowds and traffic.  We stopped by the Chelsea Hotel
once the provence of rebellious 60s Icons like Bob Dylan, Charles Bukowski, and Eddie Sedgewick and now newly renovated and with a Doughnut Plant outpost on the premises.  Doughnut plant has some of the best doughnuts in NYC, and we love doughnuts.


 We brought our doughnuts to the tables on 23rd street by Madison Square park.  You can sit there and watch the hub bub:



The building behind Weasley and his Dad is called the Flat Iron, because well it looks like an Iron.

 There are always art displays in this area.   Today there was a large bird made out of iron nails:



Madison Square Park has a nice big dog run, and its very popular.  


Weasley was running around so much we only got two pictures.    Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Don't forget to enter our giveaway to win a Day Dog Designs Collar.

    Great trip, Weasley! Mommy keeps letting out big sighs.....cause Manhattan brings back memories of her high school senior trip......about 87 million years ago!

    A square doughnut? OM NOM NOM. And how does that flat building keep from falling over in a wind storm?
