Welcome to Manhattan, and thanks to Meeting Benches for the hospitality. Nice to meet you, I’m Mike. I’m sorry, we do not meet Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan and even (perhaps, Diane Keaton or Distin Hoffman), but – with a little imagination – I’ll go with you in some of his avenue, with the certainty that observing limousine and restaurants, you can build yourself a mental landscape that reflects the tastes of those who live there. That is the Upper West Side – the long strip between the Hudson River and Central Park – further north you get to Harlem. Can we stop at Cafe Lalo, so I can tell you something special, that I know well, enclosed inside this chest. http://cafelalo.com/cafe/
Do not miss out Amsterdam Avenue, move quiet, aimlessly, this area will attract you. For a good restaurant (best to book), you may write a name, the name of the restaurant “Spazzia”; in spending, not including the chance to meet some famous actor, but it is a possibility, a real possibility. If the day is no sun and you walked too much, you may warm up to “Sarabeth”, with a good brunch. Perhaps, for you my avenue are all the same, but it is not. In Central Park West, even if you are distracted, it will be impossible to not be aware of a scent that no perfumer has managed to create: the “Snob”. Yes, the many palaces of the Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum, are enveloped by the eccentric essence for the rich. http://www.sarabethsrestaurants.com/central-park-south/
When you walk in the Upper West Side, you will not sniff the scent longer so expensive, because the flavors will be different, as the shops and streets. If you have a camera, I recommend a hypothesis creative captures many, but many pictures of stairs fire (it’s a special trick, because each of those photographs will also welcome many amazing friezes, all white, but each must, with its uniqueness). In the days of the weekend, this whole area changes appearance, imbued with people, until late at night, even to listen to good live music. http://www.nycgo.com/
We are at the end of my narrative, and I hope that your diary is full of helpful advice (if good, you can describe them, when you come back here). Columbus Avenue – remember the 85th Street – is a zone “no zone” or better, you’re in New York, but the feeling is of being in Paris, as well as the scent of “pain au chocolat”, what is on sale in the his many boulangerie. Hello, controllagli address I gave you: for the “Spazzia” go to 366 Columbus Avenue (77th Street), for the “Sarabeth” you can go to Central Park South. http://www1.nyc.gov/
