This is my favorite restaurant in K-town; there is a waterfall inside and a piano on the second floor. I love Korean barbecue--kaibi and bulgogi--are so good, and like most places, you have the option of cooking it right at your table. It does come already made, but where is the fun in that? If you do get the barbecue dishes though, you will stink of Korean food until your next shower. Don't say I didn't warn you.

69 Chinese Restaurant on 69 Bayard St. has such good home-cooked food that they don't even need a name. And apparently their food attracts the crowds because I've definitely had to wait outside for a table before. In the AM hours, they are one of few restaurants in Chinatown that aren't closed. I swear these people don't sleep; this restaurant is like a hungry, drunk person's best friend. I've never been crazy about their food, but I think over the years it has grown on me. Their dishes taste very homemade; try the beef stew or the chicken over corn. Ooh, and don't forget the chicken wings--they're good. Also, they condone defacing government property; you can write messages, shoutouts, names, whatever, on a dollar bill and they will post it up on their wall.

Uniqlo is a cute little Japanese store located in Soho. Most of their merchandise are cute solid sweaters in both cashmere and merino wool, that come in all sorts of colors. When they have sales, their clothes are such a steal. The cashmere sweaters are 60 dollars and the other sweaters can get as $12. They also have the cutest selection of socks I've ever seen, argyle in all sorts of colors.

OV is a predominantly Asian bar, Asian-runned and Asian-frequented, but I have seen other people there. They have drink specials nightly and some of their shots are only $2. They also have dollar jello-shots, which are fun to get every once in a while. They serve food there, although I usually don't see people eating there. If you do get hungry while drinking, get the fried chicken wings, they are like 25 cents a piece and delicious. If you get bored while drinking, people are usually playing cards there, or you could ask for dice in a cup, so you can play one of the many possible dice games.

I've only been to Caroline's once and that was because a friend of a friend was performing so I got in for free. Prior to my visit I've been told many good things about the place and about all the famous comedians that just show up at Caroline's. Sadly, when I was there, no one famous showed up. One of the comics was on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" because I remembered her from the show, but that was about the extent of it. Drinks were expensive, but I guess if you factor in that the tickets were free, it evens out. Overall it was a pleasurable experience.

What can I say about this place except that I'm so glad I'm out? Just kidding, I think. Brooklyn Tech is considered one of the best New York City public schools, along with Stuy and Bronx Science. I didn't study nor did I finish my entrance exam (I had a good 5 pages left at the end of the test because 1. I am slow and 2. that test bored me to tears), so I don't think admittance into Brooklyn Tech is that big a deal. There are many other non-specialized high schools with equal or maybe even superior education (i.e., Midwood). I don't think I learned anything from my years at Tech besides the fact that I am horrible at cheating, and know absolutely nothing about telnets, pings, C++. As another poster had written, Mr. Hoftyzer was definitely one of my favorite teachers; however, that hasn't changed my opinion on chemistry, which I still hate.

The store itself is gorgeous: sleek and simple, true to Apple form; the prettiest part of the architecture is the skylit glass staircase that leads upstairs. The setup of Apple products all around the store makes it possible to spend hours in the store fidgeting with the ipods, Macs, iBooks, digital cameras, speakers, and printers, and not buy a single thing. There are also tons of customer service people on both floors, so that if you have any questions, someone will be there to answer them. The best thing about this place is that they actually want you to stay in the store and test-drive all their products to ensure your product satisfaction.

Take a trip to South Street Seaport, you'll love the historic feel of the cobblestone roads and the view of the Hudson River. The mall features clothing stores such as Victoria's Secret, Structure, Express, and others of the sort, but it also has special stores, like the Christmas store, the purple store, and other stores with seasonal leases. Outside the actual mall are more stores, like the Yankees gear store, Coach, J.Crew, Gap, and Abercrombie & Fitch. I love walking around the shops in and around South Street Seaport during the day, but I especially love seaport at night. There are many different restaurants/bars to try inside the mall, and an after-dinner stroll along the pier is a perfect end to a perfect date.

I love the Staten Island Ferry, I've taken it numerous times in the past couple of years and yet I don't think I had any business in Staten Island any of the times. So basically I ride the ferry for fun when I have nothing better to do. It's so relaxing, especially at night when the boat is fairly empty and the temperature is just right. Plus, the New York skyline looks amazingly beautiful. The Staten Island ferry ride was actually one of my first dates with my current boyfriend, and it has kind of become our thing to do when there is nothing to do. So if you come to New York and you can't seem to get a gorgeous enough picture of New York from the BQE or any of the bridges; take the ferry, it's free and the view is just spectacular.

Zen has such good food for the prices that they charge; if you order more than $8 worth of sushi, the sushi is half off. Places that offer sushi that is "affordable" usually stuff their sushi with all rice and no fish. Rest assured that Zen does no such thing. The portions are generous, and their eel, crab, and fish are all delicious. For an additional 50 cents, you can get a side of Japanese mayo; I don’t know about you guys, but I love Jap mayo. I love coming here and trying all the different raw foods, their hot foods (try the eel over rice), and also their unusual cocktails (made with their special vodka).
