Who would have thought that a Hilton had one of the best restaurants in the city or on the key? The chef there really knew what he was doing. And the view from the deck overlooking the beach was perfect. C'est la vie.

Growing up where I did, and the experiences that came as a result, is something I would never trade. Hopefully my kids will feel the same way about where they're growing up when they get older. I worry about their naivete from a small town existence. We certainly had a lot more street smarts. It's all good.

The Longboat Hilton's restaurant was one of THE best of the best in that whole area.

In NYC...you'd best have at least a "good" restaurant, in order to survive! LOL

The Japanese restaurant, in the Waldorf, was spectacular. As I said, their high tea was better than the one at the Plaza and the Carlyle! Their many different other restaurants were "good", but on the down turn in the '80s.

NYC kids were are probably still are THE most "street smart", even the over protected ones, than any other kiddos anywhere. Even though the kiddo grew up in Chicago, I can't claim that her "street smarts" were up to NYC standards at all....and that was also counting what her parents tried to impart to her. :-(

We all worry about our kiddos and then, our Grandkiddos'! :-)
