Does this guy realize there's a red-tailed hawk -- this one is Rosie -- sitting on the branch over his head?

Exactly right, Anil. Fyi, my brother is tirelessly friendly. By the time we were ready to leave, he'd actually coaxed a smile out of the manager. That's like getting one of the English Royal Guards to giggle.

66 Mott is a good place too. They are not surly, just plain grumpy. Like the movie grump old men :)

Very good suggestions, Anil. We ended up at 66 Mott. Breathtakingly surly service but very good food.

Generally Oriental Garden, for congee at Congee Village. From dim-sum I would go to Mei Li Wah on Bayard. However, if you forget Chinatown but still Manhattan then 56th between 8th & Bway is Szechuan Gourmet.

In Chinatown with my brother, who's visiting New York City. Where would you eat?

Marilyn and Ed  -- Yes, Chock Full o Nuts opened on 23rd St. earlier this year, and is serving the classic NYC egg cream with real old-fashioned U-Bet.  Also the classic nutted cream cheese on raisin bread sandwich of my youth.  Remember when NYC was chock full of these luncheonettes?  Before Starbucks.  I reviewed the restaurant  on my NYC on the Cheap website back in July.

And this Chock -- which is supposed to be the first of many the new corporate owners want to bring back to NYC -- is also in my NYC on the Cheap 'app' downloadable from the iTunes store.  Here's the short link http://bit.ly/jg7otk

A new Chock full o' Nuts on 23rd St. serves all the great classics: date-nut bread with cream cheese, whole wheat doughnuts, an egg cream with Fox's U-BET syrup, milk shakes, even malted milk shakes. Could there possibly be anything better?
