New York City diary part 5 – a night at The Meatpacking District

A night of clubbing in the Meatpacking District!

Real New Yorkers go out on Thursday nights. And since I've been out this past week, When I lived in NY I also incorporated this tradition :-). An evening of dancing in the Meatpacking District! First, let's go to the High Line Park en Chelsea MarketMy favorite spots in the Meatpacking area and perfect for takeout dinner!

Chelsea Market – The Meatpacking District – New York

My first stop at Chelsea Market It's the Anthropologie store. I love this concept store. I love wearing hats in winter and fall. This cute one with feathers is going on my wishlist!

Anthropologie is one of the best stores to buy original accessories for your home. I always leave with something nice. Even if it's just a mug for hot chocolate in the winter, a pretty bowl, or some fun stationery. It's just that it doesn't fit in my suitcase, but otherwise I'd buy the whole store!

A regular occurrence when I go to Chelsea Market Get sushi takeout at Lobster Place. The High Line is a great place to eat your takeout!

I walk through the side entrance Chelsea Market I'm off to grab a soy iced latte at my favorite coffee shop in the Meatpacking District. Blue Bottle Coffee has several delicious roasts :-). I'll quickly pop into Artists and Fleas in Chelsea Market and then head to the High Line to relax for a bit.

In High Line Park You can relax on one of the loungers and enjoy the view. I just manage to find an empty one and relax for a bit and blog a bit on my iPad. I sooo LOVE my New York life!

This trip was my first time in the dark on the High Line Park I've been there, and it's highly recommended. The Meatpacking District looks even cooler with all the lights!

Clubbing in the Meatpacking District

I meet S. and B. at the beer garden of the Standard Hotel. A cozy open-air bar that's perfect for early evening drinks.

And what do you drink in a beer garden? Exactly… oversized beers!

Tonight we're going to Le bain The rooftop bar of the Standard Hotel. I've always wondered why the club is called Le Bain…

Well... because there's a pool at the club! And people actually go in the hot tub. LOL.

After a few Whiskey sours we go to the next club. The rooftop bar of The jane! Unfortunately, there's a private party, so we're going dancing in the ballroom.

Party, party! And ready to go out again :-) #loveNY

B. and I dance until the early hours to ballroom classics from Madonna to popular '90s house. Groove is in the heaaaaaaaaaaaaart!
