New York | Metropolitan Museum of Art | Bond Street | Hudson Street

What's your favorite walk? There's a lot of stuff on Hudson and 14th streets. Hudson Street is always a great street to walk down. You could start at 14th Street and Ninth Avenue and follow it all the way down through the Village, then loop around and come up. Or you could zigzag your way through the West Village. We haven't even talked about the East Village and Tompkins Square Park, which is also a cool place, a great playground and very, very green. There are a lot of vegetarian restaurants and places that are great for college kids.

You would eventually wander into a museum, right? Well, you have to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I remember going to the Met when I was a kid. It's just a magnificent museum. You can always do a special show there, or you can just choose a classic and go see the Egyptian stuff and the armor. The Museum of Modern Art is spectacular, too, and they have just finished their renovation. There's also a great restaurant in there, called the Modern. But if you feel like going somewhere really casual, there is a place called Burger Heaven in the East 50s. The Frick is kind of fun. Way uptown is the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, which gives you a different way to look at things.

Okay, what about New York nightlife? I have no nightlife - but I know Broadway! After the theater, Orso is great. The food is always delicious. The people are lovely. You know what? This is actually funny: In my neighborhood, there is this place on Ninth Avenue called Pop Burger. I've been there both at 12:30 in the afternoon with my kids having a hot dog and french fries and at 12:30 in the morning when it is a complete club scene, when people are coming in to get milk shakes and they're hot after having been in a bar all night. It's just another example of how there can be all these different lives in New York that don't intersect. They have a whole daytime life and a nighttime life. For sushi, we like Bond Street. We also go to Japonica, on University. The other­ restaurant we love, love, love - and we go there probably at least once a week - is Bar Pitti, which is on Sixth Avenue. Bar Pitti is another great Italian place. It's just a wonderful restaurant with great people in it. I think we are going there tonight, as a matter of fact.
