Carlo's Bakery = Cake Boss fame.

Best views of Manhattan are -- in New Jersey!

Glad you all liked your stay in the town. Do check out Trinity next door, they are a good upscale bar/restaurant and they particpate on both Opentable.com and IDINE.

Amanda's is another place with an insanely cheap prix fixe before 6:00 PM, I think, totally uspcale resaurant there. It often has special wine dinners, to give you the gist of the place.

All should also remember that one can take the #126 Bus that cruises down Washington St directly into Port Authority Bus terminal near Times Square. I think the fare is currently $2.55 each way, exact change.
