NYC Parking Guide
THE FOUR SEASONS: 99 East 52nd Street, Between Park and Lexington Ave. Phone (212) 754.9494. If you had to choose only one restaurant in New York City to visit, this would be the one. The city's prettiest dining room was designed by architects Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson, and astutely hasn't been touched since its introduction in 1959. The Pool Room is a study in muted sophistication, despite some of the outsized egos at the tables.

[MOMA & Store] (现代艺术馆):大概是每个来纽约的必去之地！ 我每次去，都人潮涌动。现代艺术吗？不去看看，是要落伍 的。我特别注意到，东方人中，尤其日本的爱好者最多。
Metropolitan Museum (大都会博物馆):我常去之地。每次都奔向东亚馆区，看中国古代字画，从王羲之到徐悲鸿，从北宋的范宽到明清的石涛到近代的张大千。有一次，我仅在《清明上河图》前就看了一个多小时。我非常喜欢看表现隐遁，禅宗，梅/竹题材的作品。他们展现了人内心深处的宁静，空灵，喜悦。当你能和一千多年前的人进行着一对一的交流，看着他们当年的作品，想象着他们当时的环境，他们和我们一样，也有喜怒哀乐，也有关于人的命运的思考。当然他们没有手提电脑，没有手机，没有IPOD。但他们和我们一样，有一个能思考的大脑，能感受的心灵。
