MANHATTAN — Pro football player and "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Chad Ochocinco tweeted his way through Manhattan on Thursday, and shared his thoughts on the hot spots he visited with his Twitter followers.

The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver was in town to appear on "Regis & Kelly" on Thursday morning, after he and dancing partner Cheryl Burke were eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday night.

"That was one long flight, just arrived in the Big Apple, man its so peaceful in NY late at night and there was no traffic," Ochocinco tweeted in the early morning hours on Thursday.

The NFL star first asked the New Yorkers in his Twitter audience for suggestions on places to dine: "People of New York city, need a nice breakfast spot to eat with @cherylburke1, any suggestions that are good ?," he tweeted.
