Yesterday at Icebreaker, which sells fine wool sporting wear, I realized that Patagonia and Northface are also on this stretch of Wooster Street, and just a couple of blocks away are EMS and REI. Is it just me, or is Soho an odd part of  Manhattan to have become the center of outdoor adventure gear?

A lot of the Chinese from Chinatown (as well as most recent Chinese immigrants) have been moving to the growing Chinatowns in Flushing, Sunset Park, and Elmhurst in the outer boroughs. This probably leaves more openings for other Asian immigrants to move in to the original Chinatown.

Many of the restaurants of non-chinese cuisine might feel that they need to introduce the clientele at large to their cuisine ?

Back to Chinatown again! I just read that most participants in Chinatown Restaurant Week are Vietnamese (etc.), not Chinese. How do you account for that? http://bit.ly/x3yj2K

I would if I could, Northeast. Ditto, Richard's excellent suggestions. Of course, most out-of-towners would then say, How could possibly classify the Cloisters as small- to mid-size? (Answer: This is New York, baby!)

Your list of NY's best small and mid-size museums is good, but don't you think you should have expanded it to a dozen so you could include the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian, the New York Historical Society, the Asian Society, and the Hispanic Society?

I'd defintely add the Noguchi Gallery and possibly the Cloisters.  The Children's Museum of Manhattan might not rate as highly as the Brooklyn Children's Museum after the latter's renovation.

How would you change this short list of NY's best small and mid-size museums? Be honest, now. http://bit.ly/wp2guJ

I just read this blog about an old-fashioned, mom-and-pop bookstore in NYC with readings and conviviality: We need more of them. http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/word-books-brooklyn-ny

Anil, I took that photo with a Droid, but as the much better pictures in the Rosie and Bobby Saga show, these days there are people our in Washington Square Park every day with real cameras and mile-long lenses. The Park has become a better spot for bird watching (there are falcons, too) than a lot of more rural areas, probably because (1) the buildings around the park concentrate the raptors' cruising grounds, and (2) the abundance of meat -- pigeon, mouse, etc. -- also concentrates the raptors.
