A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.

I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

New York’s very own Grand Central Market in Grand Central Station:

If you can get the opportunity (usually sometime in October) to attend the, Grand Central Market – New York’s only gourmet European-style food hall – hosted an exclusive, invitation-only food & wine tasting event.
You must go to this private event!!!
A cordial invitation to taste the freshest fall flavors from Grand Central Station, and I will run there.
First; you must be a foody love good food and wine, the market is prepared into a long elegant hall with an incredible range of food arranged in a refined and studied manner.
Strung in two lines, a rich set of waiters were offering every kind of delicacies, and refilling your wine chalices:
The place was divided into different sections, each of them reserved for a certain class of food, and right in front, you could find the corresponding samples to test; and an expert person ready to give you an ornate explanation of what you were savoring in your mouth.
It’s hard to describe with words; the flavors, the fragrances and the smells. It was some of the best tasting food.

The majestic location (the impressive blue-light-fountain hanging from the ceiling), as sophisticated and refined were all the products sold in the market, Be sure to enjoy the freshest and finest caviar (served in four different versions), breads, cheese, meats, fish, produce, spices, fruit and pastries (fantastic the “Halloween “cupcakes) and much more…
Finally all your expectations will be fulfilled.
Grand Market, grand food, grand night!
