Eating Your Way Through the Big Apple : Chapter One

This is my first installment of, Eating your way through the Big Apple...
I'm a self-proclaimed foodie and I want to share with you mine and my peers favorite places.
Do you recall that survey I emailed you, you know the one you didn't respond to. Riiiight well I asked you all those questions to help compile a master list of "our" favorite places to dine. Living in New York City really allows you to explore the world through your taste buds and at any price range. I'm hoping to encourage you to try some of these places and hopefully suggest new ones I have yet to enjoy. These restaurants, at least the ones which I can vouch for are consistently superb. I don't f' with places that can't always get it right.
