Working at Food Network is pretty cool. But working in Chelsea Market is way cooler.

Even though our offices moved to the market three years ago, I still thank my lucky stars every morning. We're out of overcrowded midtown, for one, but we're also in a place full of really good food.

Every morning, I'm welcomed by the the smell of freshly baked cookies, brownies and bread. On the days when I forget to bring my lunch, I can treat myself to an all-organic meal or pick up a cheap plate of Thai.

All my summer road trips start with a lobster roll (at $12, they're a steal!) and I prefer to buy fruits and veggies in the coldest produce market known to man after an hour in the sun. I can stock up on kitchen supplies (and discover a secret sandwich shop), fill baskets with gourmet goodies, sip espresso while picking up Italian staples , and even have a spot of tea.

But best of all is the new Ronnybrook Milk Bar, a place I'd be happy to visit every day.

Originally a small storefront, the new and improved space is sleek and airy. They still sell silky smooth ice cream and farm-fresh milk, but there's now an expanded breakfast menu with different egg dishes (the cast iron ones with spinach, shallots, country ham, and cheddar caught my eye), plus hearty salads and sandwiches for lunch. Our senior designer Jannie is also a big fan of their mac n' cheese, a creamy concoction that should not be missed.

For those craving something sweet, you can't go wrong with homemade oreos from a Park Slope patisserie, ice cream in a doughnut bowl, and my personal favorite, two warm chocolate chip cookies and a side of milk.

I keep forgetting to bring my camera to get a proper picture of the place, so for now, these cell phone shots will have to do. I plan on having many "meetings" at Ronnybrook Milk Bar, and whether you're in the building, or work nearby, you should too!
