"Cooked perfectly, wonderful tasting meat. Very juicy and flavorful. I also chewed on the crispy edges of the bone a bit. Served with an apple cider gastrique, Brussels sprouts, and a mix of local potatoes (including some purple ones). Great!" – kathryn on the pork chop at Prime Meats in Brooklyn; she ranks it among the city's best, along with those at Babbo and Torrisi Italian Specialties

"The best bagel in NY is in Midtown. The owner is the same cat who owned the late lamented Columbia Bagels, which had been my 'go to' and was located on the Upper West Side. I order a dozen 'custom mix' bagels, chew the fat with the boys and return in a couple of hours to pick up my booty. If you take this route, you are insured the freshest bagel possible. A note: You MUST ask for these NOT to be bagged until they cool or you'll be left with soggy bagels steamed inside a moist brown bag." – allenbank on Times Square Hot Bagels

"The Popeye (Fresno chile akvavit, spicy tomato, pilsner, fennel pollen, salt rim) is excellent, provided you're a fan of beer cocktails. And if you're not, you could become one." – small h on Vandaag
