My favorite find...Hotel 31, 120 East 31st St in New York City. Not fancy, but clean, convenient to the subway and reasonably priced.

Get the kids to eat veggies! Works every time, chop raw carrots into tiny mini chopper pieces and mix into macoroni and cheese. My teens love it to this day! Caution: broccoli won't work;
carrots are orange, so is the sauce -- great camouflage for young children.
Best way to clean a lampshade! Just use a sticky tape lint brush.
Great item! Kiwi Express leather shoe shine sponges. found in many stores in RI, polishes shoes instantly. Comes in clear, black and brown. I found mine at Bob's in Warwick in a three pack.
