I just started a new "i heart nyc" blogsight (combination of a blog and a websight) to compliment my "i heart paris" sight. I will write about my eating and cooking adventures in NYC. The first post is up and it a little restaurant I frequent called Elephant & Castle in The Village.

Check it out!

I found your Elephant & Castle review to be quite helpful. Very clear, descriptive writing. I like the pictures. When I'm in NYC, I look for imaginative but high end ingredient restaurants. It doesn't have to be expensive, but there needs to be something distinctive. We went to a restaurant called Havana Central last year on 17th Street, because my daughter had to have cuban food. The menu was a little uneven, but at least two of the dishes that we had were sensational. One was chicken chicaronnes. And the other was some kind of pork.

Have fun with your websites Richard. I had a good look at the Paris restaurant section and was thoroughly entertained...keep them going!

swan- Did you travel all the way to NYC for the same event that clotilde is attending? It must be quite a shindig!

Have a fabulous time! You know, there's still a Dutch legacy to the area up and down the Hudson. I came from an area where everything was one kind of "...kill" or another. And, of course, NYC was once New Amsterdam. I wonder if there's a guidebook to those features of the city. In any case, I warrant you'll find lots of names that are quite familiar sounding.
