Washington Heights and Hudson Heights

Gina's new office will be at Columbia University's Medical Center in Washington Heights.





After walking around the area to get a feel for it, we enjoyed a terrific lunch at Dallas Barbecue, which offers very affordable Texas-style dining experience in the Big Apple.





I forgot to take some pictures of the Texas-themed interior that seems somehow out of place in New York. The lunch special is a bowl of home-style chicken and vegetable soup, a half chicken, corn bread and a side dish. I splurged for an extra dollar to get the barbecue glaze.



Laszlo said they have another near his school in Chelsea, and he and the other teachers often go on Fridays. I highly recommend this little restaurant chain.


We meandered up to Hudson Heights, a surprisingly quiet and beautiful residential area located only a short walk from the Medical Center.

Like throughout much of New York City, there are lots of little parks in Hudson Heights, including Bennett Park, where Laszlo pointed to an otherwise non-remarkable outcropping of stone that is the highest natural point in Manhattan.
