Maybe she's finally getting really comfortable around him. It's easier to be less awkward when she knows for a fact he wants her around and she's not just bothering him.
He's such a gentleman. She'll walk with her hands clasped behind her back, instead of the all-elbows way she usually walks around. With him there she doesn't need to be on guard all the time. She definitely notices the use of the nickname and the addition of "chan". But it doesn't seem like a good time to tease him about it, so she'll let him change the subject. She is grinning like an idiot now, she's not going to even try to hide that.
"Oh, that's tough. I like going up to the observation deck of the Empire State Building. I love the view. And I like the botanical gardens. And Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters. It's like a piece of an old English castle got put down in the middle of New York." Running themes: good views and flowers. Important things to know about her, and he's done splendidly already.
