Keep spreadin' the news: the Big Apple is in a class of its own -- one of the most exciting cities on the planet, and with enough variety and raw material to keep visitors coming back for decades, from Times Square to the rural side of Staten Island.

Eileen Tan/Dreamstime.com On Google´s list of its most popular searches during 2022, when it comes to scenic spots in the United States there are some surprises. For starters, “scenic spots” in Google’s definition does not include iconic places like Vermont’s Technicolor White Mountains in fall or the yawning Grand Canyon in Arizona (and by the waym more about canyons later). Instead, Google users were primarily interested in where to see and photograph some of Mother Nature’s magnificent…

Exactly right, Anil. Fyi, my brother is tirelessly friendly. By the time we were ready to leave, he'd actually coaxed a smile out of the manager. That's like getting one of the English Royal Guards to giggle.
66 Mott is a good place too. They are not surly, just plain grumpy. Like the movie grump old men :)
Very good suggestions, Anil. We ended up at 66 Mott. Breathtakingly surly service but very good food.
Generally Oriental Garden, for congee at Congee Village. From dim-sum I would go to Mei Li Wah on Bayard. However, if you forget Chinatown but still Manhattan then 56th between 8th & Bway is Szechuan Gourmet.
In Chinatown with my brother, who's visiting New York City. Where would you eat?
Marilyn and Ed -- Yes, Chock Full o Nuts opened on 23rd St. earlier this year, and is serving the classic NYC egg cream with real old-fashioned U-Bet. Also the classic nutted cream cheese on raisin bread sandwich of my youth. Remember when NYC was chock full of these luncheonettes? Before Starbucks. I reviewed the restaurant on my NYC on the Cheap website back in July.

And this Chock -- which is supposed to be the first of many the new corporate owners want to bring back to NYC -- is also in my NYC on the Cheap 'app' downloadable from the iTunes store. Here's the short link http://bit.ly/jg7otk
egg cream at chock full o nuts??? who'd a thunk it! will try it out and let you know if real!
A new Chock full o' Nuts on 23rd St. serves all the great classics: date-nut bread with cream cheese, whole wheat doughnuts, an egg cream with Fox's U-BET syrup, milk shakes, even malted milk shakes. Could there possibly be anything better?
Anyone have suggestions for a member seeking out interesting geological formations (that's rocks to youse) in the NYC area. If so, she'd love to hear from you at this link to our Ask A Travel Pro Forum. Thanks so much!
