I also am pretty fond of his restaurant "Les Halles" in the NY Financial District (great bistro food with reasonable prices).
Wish I'd known that Les Halles was in the financial district. I ate at Del Monico's instead.

Bourdain had a show on the Food Network called "A Cook's Tour." The episode I saw last night reminded me of that one, but this was more educational than "Let's watch Tony get drunk and eat gross things" than that one...although they were in Paris, which has fewer gross things to eat than other cities. Seems like they always had him drinking cobra bile in vodka, or eyeballs, or insects. We'll see how he does eating the Icelandic Rotting Shark next week.

I think Food Network cancelled his show becuase he wasn't a big, dancing muppet like some of the "personalities" on the channel.
