New York miscellanea...
Other things that weren't worthy of a blog in themselves, but which together make up more than the sum of their parts.....
Bagelry: really, anywhere in New York, but try First Avenue for some real pastrami and all manner of lox, whichever is your preference.
Pasticce: try the ever-popular Ferrara on the corner of Canal and Mulberry Streets (or the second location on Mulberry Street) for Italian cakes, pastries, florentines, biscotti, ice cream etc. For more of the same, try Bleecker Street - Rocco's Cake and Espresso shop and Pasticceria Bruno next door are almost carbon copies of each other.
Pizza: Lombardi's (corner of Mott and Spring Streets) boasts of serving the Zagat-proclaimed best pizza in the world out of a coal fired oven. Although I wouldn't recommend the clam pie unless you're trying to tone up your jaw muscles...
Pots and pans: Also around SoHo (thanks to SJL for this one) you'll find The Broadway Panhandler (corner of Broome and Wooster Streets, for all your kitchen needs (and needless desires). Here's mine:
Bags: For the luggage fiend, walk down to the Crumpler store at 45 Spring Street.
If you feel like getting out of Manhattan, but not, Columbia's a nice place to imagine you're almost in Paris, but not quite. Check out al fresco waffles and Labyrinth Books on 536 West 112th Street.
