Caf

13 E 37th St.
New York, NY 10016
(212) 213-2810

We had dinner at this cafe a while ago. It’s the only Chinese restaurant in New York with a Michelin star. The decor is subdue and service and food are decent. Lunch has a different mood: loud and little hectic – not uncommon in midtown. The shrimp is really good, love the red pepper rings. On Yelp

They indicate that they compensate their waiting staff well, no tipping is necessary.

B & H camera store

This store is pretty legendary: friends from China and UK knew to go there. I purchased my Canon t2i there too.

Some used goods: We wondered in the store for a little while – checking out the Leicas and Hasselblads before heading to the proper destination: the affordable areas.

My friend purchased EOS 5D Mark III: the shutter is so much more crispier and lighter at touch where mine needs heavier press. Side by side comparison is so important. Another friend sent me his toys – I could only image the shutter of these handsome machines!
