Jaennifer Lopez Loves The New York Sound
"One of the reasons I love going back to New York is the Spanish radio stations. They play the best salsa music! As soon as I get there, I'll turn on the radio in the car, tuning back and forth between 97.9 and 105.9 and dancing to the music. It always makes me feel at home."
Jennifer Enjoys Eating Out In New York
"Patria has Spanish cuisine and a great atmosphere. It's dimly lit, romantic. And the food, well, just reading it off the menu is sexy. Then, when they bring it to you, it's so pretty and hot you don't even want to eat it. You just want to look at it. But you've got to eat it, because it's so good. Victor's Cafe 52 is a good Cuban spot. It's been around forever. Great Cuban food, but not fancy like Patria. This is just home cooking, like you'd get at Grandma's house. I always get the steak or the chicken breasts with white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. For dessert, don't miss the tres leches, which is yellow cake soaked with three milks (whole, condensed, and evaporated). When you cut into it, the milks ooze out. There's a white cream sauce on top and a cherry."
Jennifer Lopez Enjoys The New York Nightlife
"I love to dance at Jimmy's Bronx Cafe. It has Nuevo Latino food and salsa music. Going there is like rolling up to a Puerto Rican party. You go in and everyone is just smiling, dancing, partying. It's like family. Everybody wants to dance and have a good time. The lighting is low and dim, but the dance floor is lit up. You can eat some really good Nuevo Latino food in the restaurant. You can work it off on the dance floor."
Jennifer Lopez Loves A Great New York Breakfast
"Good Enough to Eat on Amsterdam and 83rd has great breakfasts. It's not much on atmosphere, but the breakfast is really, really good. They have this strawberry butter that you put on the muffins. It's so delicious. They also have great omelets, waffles, and pancakes, and really good service. But I go just for the strawberry butter. I can't properly describe how good it is; you have to taste it and you'll know why."
Jennifers Lopez's Favorite New York Sights
"Go to the South Street Seaport. There's always a lot going on down there, always a lot of energy. The real New York energy is always, of course, at the Empire State Building. That's where you get a sense of what Manhattan is. It's romantic to look out over the city from the observation deck. You can sense the hustle and bustle of New York life. I love Central Park. That's where I feel New York the most. You could live in New York your whole life and never see all of Central Park. One day, you're just walking through and you think, Oh, my god, I've never seen this part of the park. And they have all of these activities going on there. I also like watching the ice skaters in the Wollman rink."
