Really fantastic! So I heard! just wanted to know if it is easy to look for halal restaurants in NY? In case we are going to Ny one day...hehehe...
Halaal restaurants in midtown was hard to find (we didn't even find one!) But there were some stalls/moving vendors which sold Halal Kebabs at the Radio City Hall area and even along the Madison Square Garden. They tasted good!
Since my kids are not really into Nasi and stuff, so easier for us as there were pizza restaurants and cafes (like Starbucks was everywhere!). And our hotel room, Affinia Manhattan, had a kitchen (it was the only hotel that provided studio rooms with kitchen) so it made our life easier. I'd recommend this hotel. It's in a very good location.
Anyway, NY IS one of those city that people must visit (I think! Well it was in MY list hehe). So, make that 1 day come true :)
thanks rogue economist! will google affinia hotel soon...thanks for recommending..
