+## Misc
+
+Dual Specialty: Mostly Indian, some Middle Eastern spices and ingredients, at
+1st Ave and 6th St in Manhattan. 
+
+I like the Hungarian Pastry Shop up near Columbia University, very cozy. Think
+Coffee is reasonable near Washington Park. Kaffee 1668 (just north of WTC site)
+has the best brewed coffee I know of in Manhattan, and good wifi.
+

+
+The Met Opera House sometimes has standing-room-only tickets, which are
+actually pretty reasonable (you get sort of a dedicated lecturn in the back of
+the audience), and frequently results in free upgrades to primo seats in the
+orchestra. 
+
+The State Island Ferry, Central Library (at 42nd St), High Line, and of course
+Central Park are all free and worth visits.
