Eating Out in New York City

Since it is a beautiful spring day in New York City, I will NOT post another cranky blog complaining about sub-par food I've eaten in the previous week. Instead, I will do something I've been meaning to do for a lawng, lawng time: make a list of recommended eateries here in the Big Apple & BK. I'll link to my review of them. I'll update if something changes. For new readers, I hope this is a helpful (albeit limited and totally partial) resource.
