Really? They won't ask to have a look? They just ask what you have and let

you carry on? I'm sooo fed up with having my suitcase and baggage searched

(it's quite crazy as I've never drank, smoked or taken any drugs ever - and

they always stop me! Shows how crap they are at picking out who they think

is suspicious!). So I should go to the 'Goods To Declare' channel? Maybe

I'll try it this once and see how I get on!

I don't know if I really want to go to chinatown. I ended up there once by

mistake (walked the wrong way down Broadway!) and suddenly found myself

around a ton of shops selling sushi. Gross!

 

I was taken to a nice vegan cafe when I was there in Feb but can't remember

the name or where it is. I vaguely remember walking from it to Tower Records

(not *too* far from St Marks). Will have to look on the net for it. I do try

and take 50 billion packets of crisps and a few biscuits so I don't have to

buy any food though.

That sucks about the milk. Thanks for the tip. If I do buy anything I'll

just buy chips or more crisps (such is my extensive diet)! Unless you know

of anywhere in NYC that does a vegan pizza.
