A Special Eoff Log In...

After years of waiting, im finally in NYC, heeray for me.
Im using the hotels dial up connection to go on the net, its suprisingly fast.
Anywayz, Im in Holiday Inn in Soho, theres like a trillion chinese food shops in this area. It looks kinda dodgy too. I always thought London was scum. But while i got my taxi from JFK, I went past some awful areas. And theres were like groups of gangs. And I swear I saw a robbery. I was walking up Canal St, and this shop with red barred gates. There was various men inside. I walked up further to the end of that street. Turned and 2 men walked out and ran down into the subway near by. Seriously, We would never get this in UK. Ive been in my room watching the Food Channel and Rockers Halloween special was recently on. Now its these iron chefs ???
I want to know whats good near by apart from the obvious.
Thx in advance.........
