Now that the woods here are no longer so off-putting, Red's taken some more time to explore them. But a girl gets hungry after a while, and a girl who vaguely remembers hunting one of those red rabbits the full moon before last by Milliways' count... is going to go inside for supper.
So Red's at a table, with a plate of what other people might know as spaghetti and meatballs; she's not quite sure what to make of it herself. This is what she gets for asking the Bar to surprise her, she supposes.
At least beer seems to be beer wherever you go, so she's had more of that than her food. But she'll get there eventually.

"New York City, its the one I grew up going to and know best."

"What's it like?"
Hey, she still has a massive travel bug. Just because the original plan's... a bit of a bust doesn't mean that's gone.

"Huge, cramped, tall and wonderful. When I was young, I got awful headaches when I went there but I loved it."

"Headaches from the crowds?"
Her mental image of 'tall' is probably falling far short of New York's actual height. Her reference point is... two- or three-story buildings on top of a large hill?

"Yes, New York is a full city."

Her mental image of 'full' is also way off the mark.
"It must be fascinating."
Red's torn. Would she want to see a place like that before she has more control over the wolf? Would it even be a problem in another world, or is there no reason to assume she'd be free of it somewhere else?
She wants to see more than where she grew up, but... she doesn't want to hurt anyone else.

"If its possible when I'm closer to it again, I'll take you."

"As long as you're sure it'll be safe."

"I think it will be. I know you could do it."

Red grins. "Thank you."
She means for trusting her as much as for making the offer in the first place.

"You're welcome."
