Denise,

Thanks for the welcome.

We live 4 blocks south of Grand Central Station and 4 blocks north of the Empire State Building, in Murray Hill.

I spent most of my adult life in Chelsea in the West 20's til about 7 years ago when we moved to boring Murray Hill.

Which neighborhood did you live in?

Betty,
If you need some NYC restaurants for your pre-cruise stay just ask. Although it seems that Masaki has it pretty well covered.
