A rooftop bar with a spectacular view of the Empire State Building. Drinks are expensive, but worth it for the view!

Staten Island Yankees are a minor-league baseball affiliate of the New York Yankees.

Admittedly, the standard of baseball is not as high as the NY Yankees or NY Mets, but they have a super ballpark.

Take the free Staten Island ferry from lower Manhattan, giving you a perfect view of the Statue of Liberty. 30 minutes later you arrive at Staten Island, right beside the ballpark. From your seat in the ballpark there are fantastic views to Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.

The most expensive ticket is $13, while a draught beer is $5. A community atmosphere IS New York City.

Tante Zoe's is a cajun/creole New Orleans restaurant. It was recommended to us by a taxi driver. We had a really nice evening and the service was fantastic. The steak was lovely!
The menu is available on the website.

I know ... why go to an Irish bar when on holiday in the South of France? But, to be honest, there are not too many Irish people about, and not much Irish music either! A good mixture of music, from chart music to 1980s French rock, its a great place to spend your Saturday night/Sunday morning.

The Shambhala is a tea room, but with an oriental/Indian feel. The entrance is a little shop, but go through to the back to get to the tea room (after you have taken off your shoes!). You sit on cushions at low down tables, and drink flavoured teas from all over the world - and no Coca Cola!

Very chilled and relaxed. There is also a restaurant upstairs.
