Don't waste your time going to the Macy's flower show. It's like going to a Target department store. The advertising gets you all jazzed and the store lets you down. The flowers that were supposed to be rare and spectacular were hoisted way above our heads impossible to photograph. Forget this no show.
On the bright side however on 34th street between 6th and 7th on the north side of the street there is a great surreal place to eat. This Chinese restaurant gives you five items for rive bucks. The buffet table had got so many different choices that your mind will get boggled. And the freshness and cleanliness stands out.Don't let the Styrofoam plate fool you they really pack it on. And if you don't finish your meal just take your plate downstairs where a wonderful woman will wrap it up to go- no extra charge.
As if this wasn't enough at the front of the store they've got amazing French pastries and an entire wall devoted to the variation on the Chinese Pork Bun.
It becomes a surreal experience when you head upstairs. I suggest you take out and eat across the street but if you must...the experience starts upstairs. For starters, it's a little hot and something strange gets piped through the sound system. You begin to realize your listening to some kind of monotone cult-like voice speak to you about this plant that they found in the rain forest which is a miraculous cure for all health issues. As you eat the drone of the voice and the heat lulls you into a hypnotic state. If you're susceptible to suggestion bring earplugs and a fan, other wise don't miss this New York experience.
