my top 100 restaurants since moving here
I’ve officially lived in new york for one year! more importantly, I’ve eaten here for one year. I’ve gotten to know the landscape of the city from the geography of its restaurants. I know which express train gets me to my favorite meals in fort greene and which restaurant owners are taking over the vacant storefront on my block. when I find myself in astoria or harlem, I pull up my beli bookmarks on a map to orient myself and select a place I’ve already shown interest in trying. restaurants are how I acquaint myself not just with the city as a whole, but also with the culture and flavor of each individual neighborhood…
