BBC News | AMERICAS | New York luring back visitors (#)

„"Half of our group cancelled," said Ida Crist from Idaho, "I feel apprehensive but at least I made it." Restaurants suffering As well as going to the theatre, New Yorkers are also being urged to eat out at restaurants to help kick start shattered businesses. What's the point of attracting people if they can't get in Bruno Fairbairn, Coffee bar manager Some of the city's best eating places are offering dinner for a cut-price $30 but this will not do much for smaller establishments near Ground Zero. The main entrance to Timothy's coffee bar on Pine Street, in the heart of the financial district, is blocked by scaffolding.
