Born in Hong Kong, raised in China Town from the age of 2, James considers himself and old school New Yorker, living now in the Lower East Side about a mile from where he grew up. He's travelled all over the U.S. and can't imagine living anywhere else. What he loves most is being able to walk everywhere and get around without being slave to a car. Also, being an art conservator and a vegan ain't as much fun elsewhere as it is in New York. There are umpteens of delicious vegan restaurants and bakerys within blocks of the park and of course for art galleries and museums this town is unrivaled. He loves going to the MET and sneaking into the NYU library, until increased security has recently made the latter more difficult. (Can anybody help him out?) He misses old New York and is worried that the onslaught of chain stores and Starbucksisation is stripping New York of it's character that distinguishes it from other US cities. For eats, he reccommends Pukk a vegan thai on 1st Avenue and he'll be cheering for the METS next week! Thanks James!
