Places to Visit in NYC
The saying here is "If you can't find it in NY, it doesn't exist!" is certainly true for almost EVERYTHING!
Restaurants
Near each of our residences or a short distance away, are numerous restaurants of virtually EVERY ethnicity! What's your flavor? Italian, German, Polish, French, Hungarian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Mexican, Caribbean, or just American from a 24 hr Diner or fast food to name a few.......its all here! In America's "melting pot" (NYC) are the traditional age-old ethnic pockets of Chinatown, Little Italy, Germantown, Polish and Irish areas and newer ethnic centers that have blended in such as Koreatown, the Russian & Indian centers and others too numerous to mention with their customs, traditions and flavors. Many great meals can be had for under $10/person!!
