This item just in from NYC:
At a civic meeting in Queens, City council member, John Liu found himself explaining the role of the Asian American public figure in New York city:
Liu... said that as the first Asian-American elected to public
office in New York City he often finds himself in situations that
officials of other races could not fathom. For example, he said,
people from across the city have called his office seeking
recommendations about good Chinese restaurants-not only in Flushing,
or even Queens, but as far away as the Bronx.
(And since he's in New York city, you know that he'd better have a list of the best KOSHER chinese restaurants!)
