Strolling Around NYC

Note: This post is a continuation of my Saturday, June 19 share, so let's get right to it!

When I got off the train on 14th St, I only needed to walk four blocks to make it to the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers. As I prepared to start walking, I got excited because I knew that I was sure to encounter some pretty cool things wandering around NYC during this time of day, especially now that my hometown is buzzing once again.

To make this stroll a little more interesting, I decided to capture my thoughts along the way to add to my journal.

So, do you want to take this walk with me?

If you answered in the affirmative, grab some popcorn, and then pay close attention as I take you on a fun journey. Let's go!

We are now standing at the corner of 15th St and 8th Ave, near the Google building. Traffic is flowing smoothly, and as we wait for the traffic light to change so that we can walk across the street, we both watch in awe as a woman hails a yellow cab (slide 2), which is a rarity in the city these days due to the impact of Uber and Lyft.

Once the signal light changed, we made our way up the block and soon approached a Starbucks Reserve Roastery (slide 3). Since you've never been to this one before, we went inside to check out the joint and ended up buying two Sparkling Citrus Espressos.

With two long city blocks to go before landing at the driving range, we strolled by Chelsea Market, and there were lots of people having brunch outside literally in the middle of the street. You gotta love it!

After carefully navigating our way up this block without bumping into anyone, we arrived at Pier 59, the Golf Club location (slide 6). Once checked in, we began hitting golf balls towards the Hudson River, AKA, having a good time.

At one point, there was a yacht cruising by that quickly became our new target, and I am convinced that one of my 300-yard drives would have hit the boat if the safety net did not catch it. Lol!

Soon it was time to leave, so we started making our way back to the subway station. We walked by the High Line (slide 8), but we didn't have time to stop. Maybe next time, my friend.

Before I knew it, we were standing on the subway platform waiting for the train. We didn't have to wait too long for the train to arrive, and after we boarded, there were no seats available, so we stood near the double doors. And of course, I used the time on the train finishing up this journal entry that I decided to share with you today—the end.

Thank you so much for spending part of your day with me. The pleasure was all mine. 😊

Have a lovely Sunday.
