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 & raw material to keep visitors coming back for decades, from Times Square to the rural side of Staten Island.

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!
You must be kidding :) There are more demostrations outside UN in any given month, but that's boring and not newsworthy. With respect to tourism i doubt any travel plans have been disrupted.
