DINING I N N E W YORK The following are some suggestions of inexpensive places for couples and small groups who wish to eat well in pleasant surroundings. As soon as warm weather comes everyone makes for outdoor eating places. Especially in the last tw or three years sidewalk cafes have blossomed out all over the city, from the Hotel Breyoort and the Fifth Avenue Hotel, down near Washington Square (take a Fifth Avenue bus marked Washington Square), up to the Childs ( ! ) Restaurant at Broadway and 111th Street. If you have an Anglo-Saxon dislike of eating under the eyes of the passers by, there are the roof gardens and the courts and backyards. Tea at the British Empire Exhibition Room at Radio City is a delightful occasion, with big plates full of the thinnest slices of bread and butter you ever ate outside of England itself, out on an English lawn away pp above the street—one of the hanging gardens of New York. That, of course, is only two or three blocks from the Waldorf-Astoria. It's also possible to eat \\\ the top of the Empire State Building, American food, but what a view of w e w York! ^ H it is warm, you will find it a cooling trip on the top of a Fifth Avenue b " s up to the Claremont Inn just above Grant's Tomb. There you can eat out P" a terrace overlooking the Hudson. Plan to be there at sunset. I t s usually '-ous. 'Phone ahead for a table "on the west side of the house toward the jwth" if you want to be quiet and a bit by yourselves. A Number 5 or Number > hus going north ("uptown") by Riverside Drive, or a Number 4, by Fifth Avenue and Central Park, will take you there in about an hour early m the v, »ing. You may have heard that the Claremont is very expensive. It isn t any m "re. You ran gel a dinner for a dollar and a hall or less—or more

If you want to go to the "Village" (and what visitor downtM) take bus triced Washington Square, going downtown, get off at kighth Street, doni Cr « - the Avenue, but turn .... to Eighth Street and m a couple oi blocks or so
