Notes to a friend - February 2006

These are some notes for a friend visiting NYC ...

Do not forget to visit the new Abercrombie & Ftich on 56th Street and Fifth Avenue (pic) ... great experience, even for a jaded New Yorker ...

For lodging, I recommend the Embassy Suites at Battery Park (web site, 102 North End Avenue, 212-945-0100), a very good location with a great view of the Statue of Liberty and the harbor ...

You can take long walks along the Hudson River Park ... the Museum of the American Indian is at the old US Customs house (One Bowling Green), you can take the free ferry to Staten Island and back for a great view of the Statue of Liberty without paying the big fees and all the crowds ... many cafes and restaurants within walking distance ... also the Regal movieplex is next door ... Tribeca, SOHO, Little Italy and Chinatown are all a short walk away ... starting in April, the New York Water Taxi will again offer its hop on hop off pass ...

I can take you to the Nice Restaurant for a covey of quails cooked in two ways ... firstly: a covey of five-spiced rubbed skinless quails deep-fried with their heads included, you will have to suck on all the bones, a very important Cantonese delicacy that we eat for Chinese New Year ... secondly: a boneless, meat only plate of quail meat served with hoisin sauce on lettuce leaves. Yummy ...
