Though not a big fan of big cities, I must admit New York City does have a lot to offer and I can see why you loved it there. You had a lot of little VT meets there too.

Gotta love an NYC page featuring "Soup Nazi" dialogue. Also, we saw "Movin' On" and really enjoyed it. It's made "Captain Jack" one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Very nice page on one of my favorite cities.

I would love to go back to NYC, but it's not in the cards for awhile. Thanks for taking me back, virtually, and giving me new places/restaurants for next time.
