"My favorite neighborhood bookstore north of Hyde Park. (And the one where I hooked my kid on books.)"

"Those rocks in the wall outside? Once upon a time, it's rumored the foreign correspondents were responsible for procuring them. Not true now."

"Seems obvious, but awfully crowded on Sunday evening. Crowded with GROUCHY people."

"Worth looking for this comfy Tibetan restaurant. Fantastic lunch buffet bargain, great food. And the big beers are as outsized as the Himalayas."

"It seemed like a lot of money to sit in the VIP balcony. But the seats? So plush. And the armrests are lke tables."

"Stand on the 14th of July bridge at sunset, or just after, for a glimpse of one of the world's most magical cities."
