Should you need a place to stay........I have not stayed there, but friends have stayed at the the Kimberly Hotel in Manhattan. Reasonable (for NYC) rates and a top of the building that has spectacular views. I think you can eat or have drinks up there.
The Indian food area is at about Lexington Avenue and say 24-28th Streets. I doubt you will get anything as good as your local spot. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray27" <steve.sundur@...> wrote: > > > Thank you so much! > > And yes to the Indian Food. > > Speaking of Indian Food, we are fortunate to have the most fabulous > Indian/Nepalese restaurant close by.
