A Food Market & Square Dancing

One mid-September Saturday we headed down to the Garment District for dinner and ended up having a truly perfect New York evening.

I had read about the Urban Spaces Garment District Market and thought it would be a lot of fun. I knew that Dan and I would enjoy samping some different and tasty goodies. I thought with Jaime it could go either way if he would actually eat anything but one thing is for sure, he tends to be more open minded about food when out and about.

Jaime ended up trying a bunch of stuff and enjoying himself immensely. Ellie was laid back and ate what bites we sent her way. There was so much to take it from a sensory perspective - visually, taste, and sounds. I love getting to expose the kids to such a wildly different tastes and dining experiences.

After filling our bellies we didn't want the fun to end so decided to walk over to Bryant Park. We discovered  a square dancing event in the middle of the city! It was so amazing.

Initially Jaime had a blasting hanging out by the fountain and Ellie enjoyed a little bottle break.

Then Jaime spotted the band and dancing and had to get closer to join in. He was so happy. I hope to never forget his sweet little face filled with joy and fun.

He was thrilled with the freebie hat. I swooped on the line just before it was enormous so that was a win for me.

We danced and twirled and giggled. Until it was time to head home.

We were out well past bedtimes but it was worth it. It was a great evening.
