NYC 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th and 15th districts
This doesn’t make much sense on the surface. The Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan don’t look alike. I’m a Latino from City Island, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Today is Tax Day and this dreaded day was made worse by being on Monday. Financial procrastinators had an extra weekend to file their taxes, and thos lucky enough to live in New England can thank Patriot's Day for extending the deadline until Tuesday.
Most everyone agrees that City Island is not just a marvelous place to call home, but its also wonderful to visit. If you go out for a leisurely stroll, or a bike ride, the chances of meeting folks who are truly delighted dramatically increases. These visitors are amazed that such a place still exists in New York City.

My wife was born in Shanghai and has taken me to some of the best restaurants in that region of China. Her best friend is from Xian, so naturally these two gorgeous ladies took me to taste the best Chinese food in NY, according to them and many others.
I can honestly say the food from Xian food is extremely tasty and not oily, or greasy. It was not only delightfully delicious, but the prices were less than what I was expecting.
