@ Ike and Wild Neil : that's awesome, thanks guys ! I've grown with the picture of diners… so I don't know where i'll be eating, but I know i'll want to try diner food, hear diner talk… this is very american/exotic to me. Big refill of coffees, fries, pancakes : I love it

@WN, back in the day, there was a ridiculous conspiracy theory that all of those Indian restaurants were secretly connected to one single hidden mega-kitchen, ha! Not true, of course. That row has diversified a bit & it's not as ridiculously cheap as it used to be. And there's probably better Indian food on 27th & Lex in "Curry Hill" now, or Jersey City.

@Pierre Did you see "Rain the Color of Blue with a Little Red in It?" Really damn charming, and Moctar is great in it.

Wild Neil:

@Pierre-DINERS are ALL OVER New Jersey. Maybe TickTock diner? I think my sister took me there once, it was ok. I think there is one in Clifton, NJ too. www.ticktockdinerny.com OH! If they have deep fried pierogi, try that, they are pretty fucking amazing. They were in this other diner in Allentown, PA anyway.

@Pierre-I LOVE diners, but make sure it is run by Greeks or Poles to be really really really good. I was in a Russian run diner once and it was dirty, but that was in Tannersville, PA so avoid that one.

I just became curious as to what dishes are defined as "american food" - www.cnn.com...
Avatar 11:38am
Wild Neil:

Why Poles? Because Poles taught the French how to cook according to somebody in Poland who told me that.
American foods-Cheeseburger and French Fries with a milkshake?

I don't believe the Tick Tock Diner of NY is related to the NJ one, @WN! Also, did you know about the attempted Tick Tock torture/murder?! State police foiled an evil Tick Tock plot a few years ago!

@Pierre-I would NOT go to Harlem alone at night in 1992. Maybe now its like the Greenwich Village for all I know. If you want to see slums and crack dealers maybe take a cab through the South Bronx ? Still, ask a local here.

Go to the Apollo Theatre maybe? Or a jazz club? I am clueless.

@ annie and Wild Neil : yeah, I imagine it has changed. And well, I wouldn't want to see dealers and slums, but some district that encapsulated what I imagine would be the life of the urban life of New-York. But then again, it's gonna be my first time in the USA, and I'm imagining all of this with the mind of a french guy engorged into american cinema and music :)

And CENTRAL PARK is free! oh and The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the NATURAL HISTORY museum-they are actually free or $0.01 because the donation is "suggested". They HAVE to explain that to you if you ask I think. At least in 1992 they did. You look cheap, but hey if you can you can.
