Building of FRIENDS
by Alpha_Ghana
I always liked to walk in the Village, my prefered place of New York.
Last time I came, I was not a fan of Friends, so this building had nothing special for me
The external look is different than in 1994, however, it is the same building, even if the appartment of Monica was not really there.
The cost of a two bedrooms appartment in the area is above 5000 dollars. The cost of a coffee in a nearby coffee shop is almost 10$. Even if you are not leaving on Park Avenue with a view on Central Park, the cost of living in the City is amazing. This is Bedford Street cross Groove street.
There is no Central Perk in the area of course. A Pity! I am sure that if someone was opening it, it would be full all the time.
Walk this way
by mrdarius
I was inspired by Black_I_Purl's tips on walking in NYC and wanted to add one of my own. It is that the best way to get from point A to point B in NYC is decidedly not a straight line. You should always walk uptown or downtown until you hit a don't walk sign, and then turn right or left to go crosstown. The exception being, of course, if you don't need to do both cross and up or down together. But if you do, then this is the way it should be done. : )
Wander aimlessly around Soho...

Wander aimlessly around Soho and the Village I visit NYC quite often, but the last time I went was with my husband soon after we were married. We got a really nice room at The W Hotel and had a fantastic time doing really horrible touristy things!
Visit 'The Village'. Plenty...

Visit 'The Village'. Plenty of restaurants and cafe's.
Don't miss 'Little Italy' for fantastic dining. Walk around and visit the little shops (especially the pastry shops!), sit at the outdoor cafe's while having a nice cappucino and pastry and people watch.
BEWARE of gypsy cabs...take yellow cabs only!
an alluring ethnic eating experience
by richiecdisc
It was getting late and though we had only sampled a small portion of what we had come looking for, we opted for a quick savory pancake and some hot soy milk at a street stand up restaurant before seeking out another van back to NYC's Chinatown. We didn't want to get stranded in Flushing for the night no matter how good the Chinese breakfast sounded. No, that would have to wait for another day and to be sure, it would be an early visit to fully take in all the tastes and smells of what surely is one of the US most alluring ethnic eating experiences. It was a crazy thing to do with such little time but when it comes to food, my wife will tell you I am a little crazy. But even she has to admit one of her greatest memories of NYC is not only watching our fellow diners bite off the top of those soup dumplings but sucking one of those bad boys dry in person. Some things are just better in person than reading about them. And this was one of those times.
