An article in todays NY Daily News announces the opening on December 15 of the new Meow Parlour at 46 Hester Street. They'll have adoptable and petable kitties from Kitty-Kind and tasty snacks will be offered by an adjoining patisserie. There will be room for 12 cats and 30 humans "who are charged $4 per half hour to cozy up to the kitties. The best things in life aren't, apparently, free."

All I know about NYC is it's there. After the holidays I'll track down their exact location then plan a trip over there. Already saving up for it.
