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.

Stockcake.com The Big Apple is awesome all year round, of course, but there´s something about the crispness of fall that makes it especially appealing, with clear, dry weather and temperatures still a balmy 18 degrees Celsius (65 Fahrenheit). In fact, some say it´s perhaps the most comfortable time of year to visit - and to enjoy the cool vibe and spectacular cityscapes from its rooftop bars, offering cocktails with a side of sky and unforgettable views.Read post Stockcake.com
Read more…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…

Anil, I took that photo with a Droid, but as the much better pictures in the Rosie and Bobby Saga show, these days there are people our in Washington Square Park every day with real cameras and mile-long lenses. The Park has become a better spot for bird watching (there are falcons, too) than a lot of more rural areas, probably because (1) the buildings around the park concentrate the raptors' cruising grounds, and (2) the abundance of meat -- pigeon, mouse, etc. -- also concentrates the raptors.
Rosie and Bobby saga :)
Ed did you take that photo ? Good one.
Does this guy realize there's a red-tailed hawk -- this one is Rosie -- sitting on the branch over his head?
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
