In case you missed it, Iron Chef America aired Battle Tilapia last night on Food Network.

The episode will be repeated this coming Saturday at 5 pm.

Below is a quick travelogue of our four days there last week, concentrating on — what else? — food and restaurants. Some misguided souls (like The Food Gal®) are under the impression there are things to do in New York City other than eat and drink, and for this they have our sympathies.
