I'm going to be doing a series of posts over the next few weeks featuring my Best and Worst lists of the year, covering a range of food related topics. Sure, this is a cliched idea but I hope you find the content fresh. I have a few fun topics I plan to cover, but for now, I'll focus on highlighting key NYC restaurant related trends that I've personally found interesting over the past year or so.
The Best Stuff
Bigger Isn’t Better
With the launch of Del Posto, Morimoto and Buddahkan, I began to worry that the American perception of ‘bigger is better’ would begin to build momentum for new and future restaurants in the city. Thankfully, this trend seems to be short lived. I understand that space is luxury, but I favor intimacy and the personality that comes out in the smaller to medium sized restaurants we have. To me, a restaurant is a brand. It’s hard to establish a connection with your consumers if you feel like just another person in a sea of tables.
The Rise of Spain
Tapas have given reason for people to enter the country’s cuisine, but only on a broad level. In the past year, authentic Spanish tapas restaurants like Tia Pol continue to expose people to traditional renditions of Spanish cuisine. Hopefully, this trend will continue to grow even further. I personally rank Spain as one of the best cuisines and wine countries in the world and there are many Spanish regions and traditional cuisines yet to be explored.
Welcome Back, 11 Madison Park
11 Madison had been such an underachieving restaurant to me, almost from its inception. I found it such a shame – excellent space, excellent location, excellent service, great wine list. But the food had always been very uninspired to me. Enter Chef Daniel Humm from the West Coast, who in my opinion has quickly become one of the top 5 chefs in the city who are actually in the kitchen most nights of the week. Humm’s cuisine is creative, approachable, complex yet simple. These contradictions make dining fun at 11 Madison again.
BLT Empire Expansion
I think BLT Fish, Prime, Steak and Burger are all winners and while I’m hoping the formula doesn’t stretch itself to thin, the BLT franchise is making a welcomed impact on the cuisine of the city.
Bloggers as Restaurant Consumer Advocates
While I can’t bring myself to take pictures in the dining room, I appreciate those who do. The detailed pictures and accounts of restaurant menus and experiences are always previewed on a variety of sites like eGullet, Restaurant Girl, Augieland and Amateur Gourmet. While I recognize they are only one person’s opinion, I enjoy reading numerous entries about the same restaurant on sites across the web to note trends or themes that help form my decisions about where I want to eat next.
Bringing the Farmer to the Table
We’ve gone from highlighting the source of meats, fish and vegetables on the menu to entire restaurants based on the concept of featuring local farmed ingredients (Cookshop, Blue Hill Stones Barns). Restaurants like Applewood are bringing in farmers to meet the consumer, another great step in the right direction. Now when will the next step come to life - like restaurants that only feature sustainable foods? This can be pretty exciting for all of us.
The Worst Stuff
Parity
There is a clear formula for success right now in terms of opening a new restaurant. As we all know, the trick lies in execution, of course. But the formula is growing tired for me and has led to the opening of an explosion of ‘me-too’ restaurants in 2006. The formula bores the living shit out of me. Sexy interior, trendy bar scene, dim lights, electronic generic tracks, large menus with different price points (something for everyone), pretty good food that’s generally forgettable a week later. A PR machine that starts with constant Eater buzzing, receives a 1 star review from Bruni and is a non-factor a year later. I tend to monitor but stay away from the fray. Do I really care about The Waverly Inn’s secret phone number, all in an effort for a pot pie I can get anywhere else? Does it really deserve constant buzzing? These are ‘me-too’ restaurants that will attract lots of buzz and will fade into oblivion. You can detect passion and originality in the cooking, menu and personality in the ownership or staff of a truly great restaurant. Sure, they need all of the other factors in the formula to thrive as well, but these principles are what make them special. In fact, many of my favorites tend to stray from the formula in small, quirky and sometimes dramatic ways.
The Everything Menu
The menus continue to expand. Five little bites to start the meal. The raw bar. Sushi. Ten small plates. Five salads. Ten appetizers. Ten entrees. Five sides. I can’t wait until this trend reverses itself and we get back to the small, focused menus that restaurants know with certainly they can executed to their utmost potential. I may be on my own on this one, but I appreciate focus and consistency vs. range.
Mexican
Zero progress on one of the most misunderstood and untapped cuisines in NYC.
Dining as Status
Restaurant gossip sites have tapped into our need to know the latest and greatest about the NYC dining scene. But in my opinion, they’ve gone way too far. NYC is always going to be about the last and greatest, but the daily posts hyping the secret phone number of Waverly Inn, the minute by minute liquor license status of E.U. or launch parties at Gordon Ramsay is very much the equivalent of People magazine or US Weekly to me. What’s next – a Mario Batali sex tape? Make. It. Stop.
Lack of Trust in Food Journalism
There’s always John Mariani and The Danny Meyer Blue Smoke revelation. Add to that my continued belief that reviewers and writers have relationships with chefs and restaurateurs that cloud their reviews, judgment and in many cases are the inspirations for the pieces they write. There’s also the line that I can’t seem to understand between PR and journalism. I’m pretty skeptical about much of what I read in 2006, both online and in print and unfortunately, I don’t see this changing. What the NYC restaurant consumer needs is an advocate and trusted voice for the consumer – someone who will remove themselves from the PR and special agenda buzz machines and give it to the people like it is - sans bullshit.
Truffle Scams
I would say that of the 7 out of 10 times I spring for the fresh truffles on a menu, they are a let down. Not fresh, not vibrant, not worth the price. Restaurants that invest in the whole fresh truffle intend to sell every last shaving, even when they are not at their prime or are well past. They wouldn’t do this with any other ingredient, so why would they with the most expensive they offer? At Cru recently, after asking how fresh the white truffles were, the server actually brought a huge truffle out for us to smell. It wasn’t as pungent or special as expected but no doubt it would be shaved for the next month for $100 a plate.
The Downslide of Gramercy Tavern
I personally think Gramercy and 11 Madison have switched positions in the NYC restaurant chain. Even though Tom Colicchio and team were doing homey, comfort cooking, it was done with creativity and perfection. I think what is being dished out at Gramercy right now is good but not great – this is based on two experiences I’ve had there in 2006. Gramercy should be knocking the socks off of people. Currently, I believe this special restaurant is just coasting. I think GT needs a major shake up in the kitchen and hope 2007 brings much needed inspiration.




thanks for this post! helpful for my upcoming visit. did you get the email i sent you? i'm in NYC on the 30th...and asked for your expert opinion on where to go and what to eat :)
Posted by: tami | November 24, 2006 at 11:48 AM
yes, yes, yes! For the love of Giada's cleavage and truffle honey, where is the good Mexican food in this city! It is a vast and eclectic cuisine, with ingenious flavors-- chocolate and chili, masa and lime, cumin and potato, corn and cilantro! There are rich sauces and various meats and interesting vegetables and fresh herbs, it is fantastic, and yet there is a gaping hole in the NYC restaurant scene where good Mexican should be!
Posted by: elizabeth | November 24, 2006 at 04:59 PM
although I do not live in New York I saw this restaurant on Fine Living's Opening Soon - http://www.suenosnyc.com/ I think it is pretty good. Anyone been there ?
Great post, look forward to the rest
Posted by: Chicken Fried Gourmet | November 25, 2006 at 06:49 PM
i couldn't agree more with your 'dining as status' statement (which, unfortunately, exacerbates the issues detailed in 'parity' and contributes to 'lack of trust in food journalism'). the comparisons to 'people' and 'us weekly' pretty much say it all. OUCH.
Posted by: janelle | November 27, 2006 at 11:13 AM
I agree. A great Mexican restaurant is a rare find in Manhattan, indeed. I have to walk crosstown from 1st Ave to 5th Ave for my Mexican food fix, but the food is so great, the trip's worth it.
Posted by: F. Maps | November 27, 2006 at 03:02 PM
I think truffles are still a mystery to the majority, and people don't know how they're supposed to taste and smell. And unscrupulous restaurateurs take advantage of this--not everyone has been to Alba in October.
Hear, hear about the sad state of Mexican food in the city! Crema, Suenos or wherever...it's all so disappointing.
Posted by: Lisa (Homesick Texan) | November 27, 2006 at 04:12 PM
i totally agree with you on the dining as status and gossip comments. over the past year + , i think it's getting even worse....
Posted by: mike | November 27, 2006 at 05:54 PM
Agreed on the fact there aren't Mexican choices. But why is it that no one ever mentions Mi Cocina in the West Village as a good option? Do people just not like it or is it just not buzz-ing enough?
Posted by: tricolores | November 28, 2006 at 03:13 PM
I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog. I've even added a link on my own blog! Love it!
Posted by: Erica | December 01, 2006 at 04:02 PM
Actually, and just very quietly I adore Waverly Inn. I don't care for the secret phone number etc, but suspect that when it all calms down it will be a great place to eat.
Posted by: Tim | January 17, 2007 at 10:36 PM
just some news
The chef of Pipa and Lucy has left.
That place needs revamping.
They're staff needs to strictly monitored.

Point Break - A Perfect Bar Experience in NYC
A local friend recommended and took my Cali group to this amazing bar. He said that mostly locals came here so I didn't really know what to expect ambiance wise... but screw it, the view at this bar was absolutely breathtaking! No joke. I felt like a celebrity w/ superstar treatment as the staff are friendly and amazing to say the very least.
I don't know who the house DJ was but he definitely was playing music right up my alley. It would've been my dream for people to start dancing, but it's all good.
It's a bit sceney for my taste, but it really didn't bother me much. the bartenders knew their stuff, although their 1st cocktail was a little weak, when he saw i understood cocktails the next 2 were stronger. I also liked that even though the place was really hopping the bartender remembered what i was drinking when i came to order another. (he also understood how good a gin hendricks is, and not to overpower it with the mixer). It was amazing to see their “das boot” which is shaped like a boot filled with beer. Don’t get me wrong, I am not drunk…it’s an actual boot shaped beer container ready to be emptied..try it ..you will love it!! Oh..how can I forget, they even have a wheel o' shots where you just have to spin it and have to drink whatever shot it lands on!! Now call that bar creativity at its best!!!
We ordered the Veal and Fish Tacos. They were delicious. Mm! We ended up asking for spoons to polish off whatever remained in the platter. (Faux pas? Who cares as long as it gets in my tummy.) The fries were crispy, but not overcooked, just the way that I like them.
So take in this scene: You walk in to what seems like an overly crowded place, but soon fine an empty table. Time seems to stop and the only indicator of the night moving on is the moon and your brain cells slowly going to bed forever. The music is not to loud and the people around look good, the only thing left for you to do is to enjoy that drink you paid ridiculously low for and laugh at the joke your co-worker just told.
The vibe of the place just never seems to die out and if you happen to spot some NYC socialite, sports player, or star, don't let it get to you... because for that moment, this night they are no long more important than then you. In fact go up to them and introduce yourself!
All in all just a great place to meet new people, or just have drinks with people you already know. I've been to numerous bars in the city but i would say this place is just great. Very welcoming staff, very laid back ambiance. I’ve been here twice after my first visit with my Cali group . I would say its worth the every penny you spend!!
