A Foodie's Frenzy

Everything tastes better in New York. Savoring a bite here and a sip there, I could easily eat my way through this city. And based on the satisfaction that I've found with each passing meal, it might even be worth the physical repercussions associated with such gross over-indulgence. The most difficult part of approaching any meal here is determining the destination. With over half of my meals leaving me longing for more, I am presented with a persistent dilemma: Do I return and treat myself to a guaranteed enjoyable experience, or do I risk disappointment and try something new? Manhattan alone holds over 10,000 restaurants, bakeries and cafes. Overwhelming? Absolutely. But in the best possible way.

Don't you worry, Reader, I hear myself. It's borderline embarrassing... knowing that I speak of past meals in a way that many reflect upon a long-lost love. I can't help it. Food is and always has been one of my greatest passions in life. Grocery shopping, cooking, baking, eating, serving... I love it all! And this city is exploding with dishes that will make your taste buds dance as though they were two-stepping with Fred Astair.

I'm beginning to compile a comprehensive list of all of the places I've been with notes on the dishes, service, and overall experience. Upon completion, this said list will be shared. Think of it as your own little black book of the hidden gems of New York dining. Cuban, Morroccan, Mexican, Italian, Japanese... I'm covering it all. I'm on a mission - determined to leave no stone unturned, no roll left behind.

Speaking of which, it's time for dinner. Bon Appetit!!!
