Hi,

I live in Los Angeles and will be going to NYC alone at the end of September for a seminar.

I love cooking/baking, and would love tips on great gourmet/cooking supply stores and the like.

I also need recommendations for fun restaurants that I could enjoy, being on my own.

Thanks so much....

This list has some suggestions for cooking supply and food speciality stores. Most places in the city are pretty friendly to the single diner - do you have any particular cuisines in mind? Where is your seminar taking place? What about budget?
