I guess I do. I wouldn't necessarily say there's an overabundance of that. About a month after 9/11, I was coming to New York to do some publicity, and I wanted to go down to ground zero. They weren't letting people down there yet. But I knew a guy in Los Angeles who had been with the NYPD, and I asked him if there was anyone he could call. The guy he put me in contact with was in charge of the Port Authority recovery mission, and his name was Lt. John Ryan. It was the most memorable experience of my life - to be down there, at that time, when things were still smoldering and falling apart. I get teary just talking about it. That day, I ended up having lunch at the firehouse with all these firefighters, and honestly, I'll never forget it. John Ryan still sends me a Christmas card every year, and I send him the latest CSI DVD. That's been since the second season, so he has a lot of DVDs.

So let's get down to the nitty-gritty. When you visit New York, where do you stay?
I always stay at the Loews Regency Hotel. It's old-school, really great service, a New York tradition. And it's just one block from Barneys, so that can't be bad. There's a salon right around the corner called Minardi. The guy who does my hair on CSI used to work there, so I have him hook me up with a nice blowout. What woman doesn't want a nice blowout? Especially if you want to go out to some special place for dinner.

What restaurants do you especially like?
I recently went back to Babbo, which is good. I like Italian, period, and I love Italian accents. Another great little Italian place is a restaurant in Midtown called Osteria Serafina. And I still like grabbing hot dogs off the street. They hit the spot.
