Moncler Fall 2010
I may not have had the most romantic Valentine's Day, but I did get to spend the day with my one true love: clothes. After an afternoon of shopping, I attended the Moncler Fall '10 show at the golf club at Chelsea Piers. It was definitely not a traditional show, and I'd never seen anything like it. The event took place outside of the golf club on the multi-level driving range. We were welcomed with bottles of warm spiked cider to enjoy during the show, and thank goodness because it was FREEZING. The models were lined up on scaffolding across from us, and there was a light show set to classical music to highlight the different pieces. Very cool.

Staten Island Ferry Adventure
On my run this morning, I ran by the Staten Island Ferry. I still hadn't been on the ferry and knew nothing about Staten Island, so I decided to check it out. The ferry ride is free(!) and about 20 minutes each way. I did some research on my phone on the ride over, and I don't know what I was expecting, but it seems like there's really not too much to do in Staten Island. There are some museums and a zoo, but that's about it. Some interesting facts:
- Of the five boroughs of NYC, Staten Island is the least populated, but the third largest in terms of area
- Over 65,000 people ride the Staten Island Ferry everyday
- Staten Island has the oldest elementary school in the US
When we arrived at Staten Island, I followed the other riders off the ferry, but I noticed that the majority of them were getting right back on another ferry to take them back to Manhattan. I was a little confused and wanted to actually get out and explore Staten Island for a bit, but it turns out you have to take a bus to get anywhere, so I got on the ferry to Manhattan too. Even though it was cold, it was a really clear day, and I got some good pictures. Overall, it was a nice ride.
