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…

Soho=high income. High income people tend to be outdoorsy and participate in expensive outdoor pursuits. Probably why Tents & Trails survives downtown. Plus, there is more room for bigger stores like that new REI store. Icebreaker also has a store in the strip with Zadig & Voltaire in the Meatpacking district (talk about weird placement) but they must have done research before picking that location.
Yesterday at Icebreaker, which sells fine wool sporting wear, I realized that Patagonia and Northface are also on this stretch of Wooster Street, and just a couple of blocks away are EMS and REI. Is it just me, or is Soho an odd part of Manhattan to have become the center of outdoor adventure gear?
A lot of the Chinese from Chinatown (as well as most recent Chinese immigrants) have been moving to the growing Chinatowns in Flushing, Sunset Park, and Elmhurst in the outer boroughs. This probably leaves more openings for other Asian immigrants to move in to the original Chinatown.
Many of the restaurants of non-chinese cuisine might feel that they need to introduce the clientele at large to their cuisine ?
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
