| Summary: | Chosen as the best Chinese restaurant in New York by Zagat's 2006 guide, Oriental Garden is known for its no frills approach to food. The unremarkable decor and sometimes brusque service is more than compensated for by the cuisine. Crabs, lobsters and other sea food are kept in tanks up front only to be plucked out and cooked fresh for you. Dig into dishes, such as the succulent Salt and Pepper Prawns or the Diced Seafood Soup, and the highly recommended Razor Clams in Black Bean Sauce. If you want Chinese food that's fresh, wholesome and affordable and don't mind an unexciting ambiance, then this is the perfect place to go to. It must be remembered though - dinner here is not for the squeamish, there are dozens of creatures staring at you from the fish tanks, while you eat your meal! |

| Summary: | Another example of the multi-ethnic cuisine available in New York, the Caracas serves delightful 'areperas' and 'taguaritas' from Venezuela. This tiny eatery is grabbing the fancy of New Yorkers and threatening to replace their penchant for pita or tortillas. The spongy cornflour coverings are stuffed with a wide choice of fillings like black beans, sweet plantains and cheese, mashed chicken with avocado and the list is almost endless. Served with bowls of nata (sour cream), the arepas are irresistible. Next time you are in East Village, try it out. |

| Summary: | Named after the New York Times, which moved here in 1924, Times Square is a vibrant, neon-lit area in the heart of the Theater District. Once populated by peep shows and sex shops, it has undergone a complete image overhaul. Hotels, office towers and commercial businesses have sprung up. Disney has moved in, as well as Condé Nast. Megastores and theme restaurants have also set up shop. Times Square remains the city's favorite venue for New Year's Eve, where a huge street party is highlighted by a glitter ball dropped from Times Tower. The Times Square Alliance which was founded in 1992, works for the improvement and promotion of this most popular New York city attraction. |

| Summary: | Brooklyn Bridge was built to connect the island of Manhattan to Brooklyn. At almost 1,600 feet, at the time of its completion in 1883, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Its architecture remains a wondrous sight in the New York cityscape. After dark, the twin Gothic towers and strong steel cables make a striking silhouette against the night sky. Walking across the bridge is a huge thrill, particularly if you start from the Brooklyn side and view the Manhattan skyline on your stroll across the East River. |

| Summary: | Built in 1913, Grand Central Terminal is impressive even to New Yorkers, particularly the massive main hall with its cathedral-like vaulted ceiling. The building s beautiful with chic new shops and a food court lending an air of urban charm. Not an easy feat for a railway station that is filled with a half million commuters each week. The bar at Michael Jordan's The Steak House overlooks the busy terminal. If you crave shellfish, dine at the legendary Oyster Bar. The Vanderbilt Hall within the station is also the site of numerous cultural events, so check out the website for the latest in the station's support of artistic endeavors.
