199329 Sun Feb 02 16:08:31 -0800 2003 8 18 Manhattan 0 1062940 So my somewhat eccentric Aunt is coming from out of town next week and she's staying at the Waldorf-Astoria (Park and 50.) She doesn't like Indian, Thai, Korean, or anything adventurous. She also doesn't want to walk far, and as far as I can tell she doesn't want to take the subway or a cab. Oh, and she doesn't like to spend a lot of money. *sigh* So can you all see my problem? I've searched a bit on the board and come up with a few ideas, but any more would be greatly appreciated. I might just pay for the cab myself and take her to a better neighborhood but I thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks in advance ...

She's only staying at the Waldorf becasue she gets a government rate. She's my favorite aunt and I love her like crazy, but all I would inherit is a rusty .38 and a yappy dog (what else does a girl need anyway?) Thanks again for the tips!

(My apologies, in advance, to Pat Goldberg, PETA, and all chowhounding vegetarians.) Mon Feb 03 12:43:00 -0800 2003 1062994 0 newsjoke 6 1063118 OK by me, I'm a cat person. Tue Feb 04 05:47:32 -0800 2003 1063022 0 Pat Goldberg 1 1062948 Maybe try San Martin on 49th, b/w 3rd and Lex I think. I've never eaten there but sometimes order in from there at work and its pretty good. Maggies is an Irish bar/restaurant on 47th b/w madison and 5th. I cant think of much else on the cheap side in the area.
