Re: how do you define an expert? - 17 years ago
I've been to NYC quite a few times now, and wouldn't say I had "authority" to answer questions , but often the advice from a visitor can be especially useful in the case of lodgings as the majority of locals don't have the need to stay in hotels themselves. I personally think this is true of restaurants as well. Residents of NYC have such a huge choice of fantastic eatinby Daisiegee - Ask a New Yorker :

Re: New Yorkers #1 in Friendliness(Today Show) - 17 years ago
I wouldn't want to open the North/South divide thing, but we North Eaterners do have a reputation as being friendly.I'm a friendly lass! Closer to London they don't seem the same, but that may be due to the pace of life, who knows. That said, there's no-where I've been that's faster than NYC and the same can't be said for that city.by Daisiegee - Ask a New Yorker :
Re: New Yorkers #1 in Friendliness(Today Show) - 17 years ago
I have to say that I've met very friendly people in every US city I've visited. San Francisco and New Orleans stand out ( with New York) as having locals who go out of their way to help. Didn't really meet any Bostonians, but no-one was rude at all. Wonder how those folks in Denver will fare on the scale?by Daisiegee - Ask a New Yorker :

Re: Helecopter Tours - 17 years ago
I did a tour a few years back with Liberty from the heliport on the Hudson around 32nd St.(http://www.libertyhelicopters.com/tours/tourinfo.php). I think they may leave from a different place now. It was the NYNY tour which covered quite a large area and flew up tp Yankee Stadium.by Daisiegee - Ask a New Yorker :

Re: Bars, Cafe's & Restaurants that allow outdoor smoking? - 17 years ago
If I've been sitting in a pavement area of a cafe or bar,I noticed that anyone who wanted to smoke actually left that area altogether. Whether that's the law, or they were just being considerate to the other diners,I don't know. It was a surprise to me coming fromthe UK, but I thought it was great!by Daisiegee - Ask a New Yorker :
