Regards Mrs B 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 |

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. |
