Of course, we walked through the lovely vegetable garden, which also boasted several floral areas designed to attract bees and birds. I believe they were called "Pollination Habitats."
In a huge basket of Early Girl tomatoes, C managed to spot this rather odd one. Right side up, it looked like Pinocchio with a tuft of green tomato stem hair. Upside down, as pictured here, it looks like the rear end of a small creature from Hell.
After amusing ourselves with the tomato photo shoot we stopped for strawberry ice cream from Three Twin Girls. It made me want to make homemade ice cream. Maybe I'll do that this week with some fresh strawberries or melons.
After ice cream we made our way down towards Union Square, stopping at Schoggi for more sweets. These are mini ice squares, which are very dense cubes of chocolate ganache. The description said that because of the chocolate's density, it tastes cold on the tongue. And it did! Very delicious.
Schoggi is across from the new, and rather imposing, Contemporary Jewish Museum. We walked around the museum store and lobby, and I was rather impressed by the layering of modern architecture over some very old original structure.
All walked out, we met J at the Ferry Building for a flight of bubbly at the Wine Merchant. The prosecco, champagne, and lambrusco were all delicious and made us hungry for lunch.
