that your name was not popping up as much on here as it had been.

Yes we did and we also saw one or two of the fabric areas although I 
don't think that we saw the actual garment district...  I did like the 
prices.

Yeah I know I will try one of your recommended knives one of these days. 
  (Sorry I just can't bear to give anyone that good of an opening for a 
one liner...) ((And trust me folks it is not an insecurity thing, it is 
simply to easy...)) Besides there is such a better one to come...

I don't mind an allegiance to a knife but myself I don't mind branching 
and if I ever get to try one I just saw a Dick I might like to have... a 
12 Incher!!!! Hell I could slice something from across the room with 
that bad boy!
See now THAT is a Good Line...

Yep the Dim Sum was great and I wish we had had time to look you up but 
as it was, I think we blew off only one thing and that was because I had 
heard that FAO Schwartz Toy Store would not be what I was expecting... 
So we skipped it.  I got to see everything else though with some added 
bonuses... It was very cool.  
Folks if ever you venture out of your town for something other than 
SCA... might I recommend asking this list for interesting sites to hit 
and see.  
Yes she is a really cool lady, I did not sample her Cakes though as I do 
not eat eggs.  And the stores/restaurants have basements under the 
sidewalks... The FRUIT in CHINATOWN though MY GOD!!!!!!!!!  I brought 
home 2 HUGE and I mean HUGE!!!!!!! Asian Pear Apples for Katrina.  We 
are talking the size of a Good bludger for those Harry Potter Fans or a 
nice cantaloupe for everyone else... And very delicious.
