Cities

Zürich

The city of Zurich, a global center for banking and finance, lies at the north end of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland. The picturesque lanes of the central Altstadt (Old Town), on either side of the Limmat River, reflect its pre-medieval history. Waterfront promenades like the Limmatquai follow the river toward the 17th-century Rathaus (town hall).

New York City

Woody Allen’s been working in Europe for years. You love New York. Can we broker a trade, like the Yankees: Woody for you? I don’t think anyone could replace the man who brought modern comedy to the cinema, but New York is the greatest city in the world, so I’d happily be your second best. There, I’ve said it. New York is the greatest city in the world.

Restaurants

The Fat Duck

I’ve been to some amazing restaurants—like Heston Blumethal’s Fat Duck. That’s like going to a chemistry lab crossed with a circus.

Cuisine

Italian cuisine

Cheese aside, what are your other favorite foods? I love Indian, Chinese. Italian is probably my favorite. It’s one of those countries where I know I can eat. Because I’m quite squeamish, really.
