NYC RESTAURANTS I HAVE EATEN MY WAY THROUGH
Below is a list of restaurants I have been to in my time here in NYC. I am in the habit of picking up and collecting the calling cards of places I have been, and have been asked to recommend my favorites to visitor friends. So, here they are, in no particular order. Also should mention that if you decide to check out one of these establishments, it would be good to call them up to make sure they are still in business... the economy has been unfriendly to our restaurants here in the City! Enjoy.
