TO DO

@ Grand Sichuan: If you happen to be here at lunch, get the braised beef in brown sauce. Make it spicy. (2 weeks ago)

@ Perilla: Thai sausages (app) are awesome! So are the crispy calamari! (Pair them w/ the schneider weisse hefe weizen) (December 21, 2009)

@ Mei Li Wah: Their roast pork buns have gone downhill, often filled with fatty gristle and chewy ligaments. Their other buns have too much dough, not enough filling. Go elsewhere. (December 21, 2009)

@ Boqueria - SoHo: Order the cranberry rose sangria—available for a limited time during the holidays. Might as well get a pitcher. (December 13, 2009)

@ Magnolia Bakery: Skip the cupcakes (usually has a long line anyway) and go for the banana pudding or their lemon bars. Avoid the blondies, brownies and other bar cookies--they're on the dry side. (October 26, 2009)

@ Amy's Bread: The cashew bars. Get at least two. You'll be craving more later. (October 13, 2009)

@ The Taco Truck: Get the Taco Pescado—good meaty fish, slightly spicy. The Carnitas are also good! (October 7, 2009)

@ Boqueria Flatiron: Get the pimentos de padron. They're like chips--hard to eat just one! (October 3, 2009)

@ Subtle Tea: New obsession: Himalaya white tea with notes of ginger. Delicious and works great for soothing a bad cough or raspy throat. (September 10, 2009)

10.

@ Momofuku Milk Bar: Skip the Arnold Palmer cake. It just doesn't work. (August 25, 2009)

11.

@ Dessert Club Chikalicious: They have the best banana cupcakes I've tasted. Their frosting is not cloyingly buttery and slightly tangy. For something lighter, get the green watermelon shaved ice. (August 10, 2009)

12.

@ Podunk: Order a pot of tea (or chocolate) and bring back memories of when you used to play tea-time as a kid. Don't tip them though -- they're superstitious. (August 9, 2009)
