Like Jerry, I'm pretty far removed from NYC. Yes, the street dogs are
wonderful, but you were asking about vegs. I can suggest that you try
your query on rec.travel.usa-canada. It's a fairly sleepy group, but
people wake up when there are questions about NY, especially restaurant
questions. My guess is that you'll find the most vegetarian places in
trendy areas like East Village and SoHo, but I'm sure they're scattered
all over the city.
Food in the city is good, and it doesn't have to be expensive to be good.
Restaurants hang their menus outside, so there's no reason to embarrass
anyone with shock at your bill.

I know NYC has a reputation for surliness, but it's not true. Pull out a
tourist map and look confused on any corner and you'll be sure to draw a
crowd. Just don't expect agreement on directions.

NY is a beutiful city for the most part, and quite safe by US standards. I
hope the weather cooperates next week, as this winter has been very
snowy there.

Enjoy your visit,
Keith

Thank you Keith. I have added in rec.travel.usa-canada in case anyone has
anything of note to add.
I must say, I was concerned to read of the high crime rate in Atlantic City.
As for the weather, I am taking my thermal underwear and
windproof/waterproof coat. Not the height of fashion but extremely
practical.
Regards
Mrs B

If you are looking for food related answers, you may want to try
chowhound.com. They have a very active NYC board.

Thank you dear. Only one day to go. I will be there soon. I've managed to
phone the airline and book a vegetarian option. I have never been long
distance before so it's all new to me.

I agree, for food related stuff, its hard to beat chowhound.com but
those who think Atlantic City is a high crime area are living in the
past. I live near AC. It is no worse than any other city where if you
stay in the busy areas, do not deal in drugs, practice common sense
behavior, you'll be fine.

You misread my motive. I wanted the boor to know what people think of him.
