I love New York City. L-O-V-E it!! Recently, I visited to see Wicked and Jersey Boys. The day of my arrival was the 1st day of the production and stage hands’ strike. They remained on strike for my entire week’s visit. No shows. Always one to make the best of any situation, the shows’ cancellations forced me to discover parts of the city that I wouldn’t have otherwise.
Some of my favorites include riding the subway down to the Brooklyn Bridge stop and walking across to Brooklyn, and then spending time on Old Fulton Street, where a B-movie was being filmed, and I sat down for an authentic pizza at Grimaldi’s. I also ate at some of my other favorite restaurants in the city: The Little Owl in Greenwich, Carnegie’s deli on W. 7th, and Felidia’s on E. 58th. Oh - and, Tiramisu on the Upper West Side! I had the spinach gnocchi. They were lighter and fluffier than cotton balls and melted in my mouth. Of course, I took in a comedy show and had wonderful late night drinks at the Oriental Mandarin. Next time you're in NY, I highly recommend these places. And if you have a great restaurant to recommend, please join the doctors in the Lifestyles forum, under Hobbies & Passions, where they're discussing favorite restaurants.
