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.

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…

Back to Chinatown again! I just read that most participants in Chinatown Restaurant Week are Vietnamese (etc.), not Chinese. How do you account for that? http://bit.ly/x3yj2K
I would if I could, Northeast. Ditto, Richard's excellent suggestions. Of course, most out-of-towners would then say, How could possibly classify the Cloisters as small- to mid-size? (Answer: This is New York, baby!)
Your list of NY's best small and mid-size museums is good, but don't you think you should have expanded it to a dozen so you could include the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian, the New York Historical Society, the Asian Society, and the Hispanic Society?
I'd defintely add the Noguchi Gallery and possibly the Cloisters. The Children's Museum of Manhattan might not rate as highly as the Brooklyn Children's Museum after the latter's renovation.
How would you change this short list of NY's best small and mid-size museums? Be honest, now. http://bit.ly/wp2guJ
I just read this blog about an old-fashioned, mom-and-pop bookstore in NYC with readings and conviviality: We need more of them. http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/word-books-brooklyn-ny
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.
