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 :)

elizabeth

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!

Chicken Fried Gourmet

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

janelle

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.

F. Maps

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.

Lisa (Homesick Texan)

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.

mike

i totally agree with you on the dining as status and gossip comments. over the past year + , i think it's getting even worse....

tricolores

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?

Erica

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog. I've even added a link on my own blog! Love it!

Tim

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.

aja

just some news
The chef of Pipa and Lucy has left.
That place needs revamping.
They're staff needs to strictly monitored.

I don't think there will ever be much trust in food reviews. Too many people out to score some free grub in exchange for a favorable word.
