Re: NEW YORK

Try Zabihah.com for listing of halal restaurants in NY and reviews.
Jackson Heights Area is good for shopping desi stuff, some at reasonable prices, otherwise Midtown manhattan has a lot of shopping opportunities.

Google NY to see places u wanna visit, like museums, botanical gardens, aquarium, broadway...etc.....you can get a city pass for 3-4 days and see everything at ur leisure.

Re: NEW YORK

Re: NEW YORK

you can go to crate & barrel or pottery barn. both stores have very nice decor and kitchen items. pottery barn also has great furniture.

btw where do u live or will be living? it seems like ur moving to ny? because if ur purchasing furniture here and livign somewhere else u will probably have to ship it; if u live overseas u will have to get a container or do some air freight.

you can ofcourse go to ikea, that will be much cheaper but thats not in NYC. if you want cheap furniture from nyc go to this place near chintatown, its called Downtown Furniture NYC, Downtown Furniture - Great Styles, Amazing Prices, Free Delivery & Free Assembly. they do free delivery and assembly in the nyc area only.

Re: NEW YORK

**Hospitals & Doctors

**almost any hospital you go to in NYC is a great one. theres really no point in asking that question, as a patient you would wanna go to the closest one to u and u will probably end up going to a world-class hospital regardless of which one ur at.

for doctors, please specify which one ur looking for? a primary physician? ob-gyn? pediatrician? optometrist? dentist? to do ur own search i found this site extremely helpful when i was searching for doctors for myself, it gives u pretty much all of their professional background, only for doctors in NY: Search for a Physician
i think its a very helpful site and ofcourse u can also google the doctor and most likely read reviews about them.

Shopping for Western Clothes

Some of the best places to go shopping that will have a huge variety are Herald Square, SoHo & East Village, and around 59th St and Lexington.

Herald Square has the largest Macy’s and many other shops nearby.
SoHo & the east village have a lot of designer shops and high end retail shops like Club Monaco, Banana republic, French Connection and TopShop just opened there.
the 59th st area has Bloomingdales, Diesel, Banana Republic, Gap, Prada, Hermes, Tiffanys, Victoria’s Secret, Zara. they also have crate and barrel and pottery barn nearby as well as the container store.

**Restaurants

**there are many good restaurants in nyc. let us know what cuisine(s) ur looking for specifically so we can guide u better. u can also look here, my fav site for food in nyc, http://www.menupages.com/. u can search by area and by cuisine type and then each restaurant is rated and has reviews by customers. the website also has the menu for each restaurant so u know what they serve and how much is costs.

oh ok i just reread ur post, ur looking for halal food. ive never had good pakistani food outside in the nyc area, icook much better so rarely eat out, ive tried many places in jackson heights like kabab king and the sort, they are nothing special and i end up with an upset stomach. the only place i will recommend is Chinese Mirch, located on 28th and 3rd. That’s a fusion of chinese and pakistani/indian food. some of theire dishes are amazing, but unfortunately some are bland. and overtime their quality of food has really declined. but still its a good place to try. if u decide to go read the reviews online to get a better idea of waht to order. and as mentioned above already u should try the chicken and rice stand on 53rd and 6th, that’s a famous halal site in nyc. near chinese mirch u will find A LOT of other halal pakistani restaurants but i dont like any of them especially. most of their customers are cab drivers that jsut stop there to pick up food or get a quick bite. baluchi’s is an indian restaurant, they have the best authentic indian food and they claim that their meat is halal, i’ll leave that upto u to decide.

if u want other cuisines like japanese, italian, only pizzas, etc. specify and i can tell u a few awesome places.

Grocery Store

nearly one at every corner in most areas of nyc.

Re: NEW YORK

I already told u about Chinese Mirch which is located on 28th and Lexington. If you dont know about the streets and avenues, dotn worry about it cuz u will definitely know once u get here.

That whole area around 28th and Lex is Murray Hill but people now call it Curry Hill because its got a lot of indian and pakistani restaurants there and pretty much all of them are halal. So you can check out that whole area. Another good halal restaurant is Bamiyan, it's on 26th and 3rd, its afghan. The chicken and rice stand is a must try on 53rd and 6th. Alot of the stands that sell falafels, gyros, chicken and rice are usually halal. Other halal places are in Jackson Heights and on Coney Island in Brooklyn.

The first and only place in nyc to sell halal meat is also in the murray hill area on 30th and Lex. Its a store called Spice Corner, owned by Bengali brothers however they sell the meat for a higher price than stores in Coney Island or Jackson Heights. In the murray hill area where you see all these halal restaursnts, there are also some indian/paki grocery shops that sell paki spices so its very convenient if u live in the city.
