best unique restaurant
Marc Samuelsson has a great pair of eateries uptown. Excellent food and service and a combination of Scandanavian and modern approach... Aquavit or Scandanavian House is worth checking out. And it's definitely not Italian. Little high end, but you won't be disappointed. Cut and paste the url to check it out: http://www.aquavit.org/flash.html
Good luck and hope your family enjoys the city. On a side note, you may want to check out the outer boroughs... there are wonderful restaurants in all of them.
PICKY ABOUT LITTLE THINGS
Overall, I like the new design--and I like that it is not at all like CNET. CHOWHOUND had managed to keep its' identity, which is nice.
But I'm going to be nitpicky here...and I know I will be hated, because with your recent overhaul, I know everyone behind the scenes is working extra hard.
Today, the graphics were not aligne--the paste up was "crooked" (does that even make sense?). And whomever is in charge of proofreading...um, you spelled Valrhona wrong.
Other than that, I think you guys over there are doing a great job. And for those folks who said something negative about big photos, etc., etc....I think they are wonderful--not at all precious or cutesy. Love them.
