New York

I was in New York for a few days. What a great city. I went to visit a friend and to go to the New York International Gift Fair, which is so much more that just gifts.

NYIGF

The displays for this show are amazing. I'll have more about the show later.

Cafe Lalo

Cafe Lalo is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. It's a bit famous because it was used in the movie You've Got Mail. The scene where Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan meet and talk. He knows who she is but she doesn't know who he is.

Cafe Lalo

Cafe Lalo has amazing food. It is organic, vegetarian and delicious. There is also a pastry case filled with outlandish delicacies such as peach raspberry pie and chocolate lover's torte.

The decor is French bistro and the setting is very much New York. It is on W83st between Amsterdam and Broadway.

The Dorilton

Architecture in New York runs the gamut from classic traditional to modern. There is a building, The Doriltion, on W 71st at Broadway that is wonderful. It is in the Beaux Arts style.

The Dorilton

The Dorilton was built in 1902 to house artists and musicians. There are probably very few artists and musicians who could afford to live there today.

The Dorilton

Apartments in the building have large, spacious rooms, many have bay windows.

The apartments go for between $1.5 and $3.3 million. The Dorilton is an exuberant, romantic building.
