Here's some of our gang's favorite New York places:
The Hotel Pennsylvania
We work here, sleep here, and hang out in the lobby watching hundreds of people come in and out, listening to them speak a dozen different languages, and generally being amazed at all of it.
Niles Restaurant
Conveniently located three blocks from the hotel, this is an awesome restaurant and a Bradley Communications tradition for dinner at least one night. They have the absolute best crab cakes I've ever had. And the cheesecake! Mmmmm...
Rickshaw Dumpling Bar
Just amazing. Who would have thought a place that serves nothing but "dumplings" could have such a variety - and that they would all be sooooo good? My fave is the fried chicken and thai basil dumpling with peanut dipping sauce.
Okay, that's my second favorite menu item. My first love at Rickshaw is these:
Chocolate dumplings! Best. Dessert. EVER!
The Empire State Building
Even the inside of the place is beautiful (that's part of the floor up there). And once I got to the top last time out, all I could think was:
Holy crap, New York is really big!
Have a great week, everybody. I'll see you next week, when I'll be a good ten Rickshaw chocolate dumplings heavier. :-)

Wow! I've only been to New York once and then only for a couple of days. Didn't see any of what you've shared. Have a great time!

Thanks, Marilyn!
This stuff is all in midtown Manhattan. Native New Yorkers have told me that no one goes to midtown (except to shop at Macy's, which is right across the block from our hotel :-)
One trip I actually made it to Chinatown, which was really cool!
Great pics, SW ... so, what work do you do on these trips?
Well, besides my own writing, I am a helpful media coach type person, stopwatch button pusher, and bouncer (grr, I'm scary). I am also a greeter, a media escort, and a general errand-runner.
Wow, Sonya! I've heard about your super trips before, but LOVED seeing the photos. And man, have you got me salivating. Wow. I'm NUTS about anything with Thai basil and peanut sauce! YUM. Even though yesterday I stopped and gave myself a treat at my favorite Thai restaurant in Rochester, NY, I'm once again craving it, thanks to these photos. LOL. Have a ball! And when you get back, maybe you could write a piece for us about how this particular job has helped you become even more savvy as a writer.
ew girl! that stuff looks WAY delicious. My mouth is so watering now!!
I haven't been to NYC yet, but the food looks fabulous, so I guess I better get my bags packed. Food is the deciding factor. Thanks for sharing, Sonya.
