big city, little mercer.

it was a beautiful day to visit the city on saturday and mercer was a well-behaved boy the whole time.

pop and mercer met grandpa in union square and strolled through the greenmarket, a delicious open-air market that caters to local restaurants and the general public. we took a quick look at 33 union square west, the address of one of andy warhol's offices. after that, we headed up to the city bakery, home of delicious cold hot chocolate and amazing pretzel croissants.

we then walked down to the massive strand bookstore, purveyors of old, new, used, and rare books. there, we browsed some children's books and changed mercer's diaper on a chair! we ate lunch at good and then walked through soho to do some light shopping at ben sherman.

after a quick rest and drink at whole foods bowery, we snacked on some delicious pommes frites with dill lemon mayo at, well, pommes frites. they only sell frites, and they are amazing.

mercer was struggling to stay awake at this point, so it was time to go home. he's still catching up on his sleep even now. he doesn't have much of an appetite and he's constantly rubbing his eyes. poor little guy. it was a fun time for all and we hope we can do it again!

sleep tight...
