"The Arlines Hotel is my favorite place to take people for breakfast. I like it because you sit under this giant banyan tree that has been there for over 40 years — at least since I've known of its existence. So you are having this lovely breakfast of good masala dosa under this huge banyan tree."

"If you want to go to the Old City, then go to Koshy's because this place has existed for a really long time. And I like the ambiance there. They serve a great coffee or beer and smiley smiles — these are like potato wafers. And most artists used to hang out there, so it's also a good place to meet someone."
