I "heart" Chelsea

Last night SD and I met up after work at Tello's on 19th St. This place is awesome! Go there, dine in cliched Italian cozy decor, eat delicious pasta, but most importantly ask for Greg! He is the best waiter I've ever had, hands down. There we were, 2 optometry gals heading straight from work, and Greg couldn't stop complimenting our looks, taste in clothes and menu choices. I will be going back, if only to see Greg again.
As we ventured out for a post-dinner drink we came upon Porter's. This place looked rather low-key from the outside, but it was a very odd mix of people inside. They all seemed to be circle flirting, and this one old man in the corner was buying drinks for the entire group. We snuck a glance at one of the gal's text to a friend "Trust me, its only pimps and hookers" hmm, thats what we had thought, but to see it thumb'd out like that . . . .
On our exit of Porters, while deciding if we needed a post post-dinner-drink drink, we saw something that has to be "least expected thing to see in Chelsea" and really, thats saying a lot.
You know how in the south they have "double wide" houses, where 1/2 the house gets driven around the interstate with the "wide load" signs? Well, half a house was cruising down 23rd st last night. Where was it going? How/why does a house make a pit stop/tour through Manhattan? Was it a cruel divorce settlement? one may never know . . .
