Why do we heart NYC so much? Is it the energy we get from walking the streets? The true twenty-four hour nature of the city? Its culture, arts and museums? The throbbing heartbeat of a place pulsating with vitality no other city can touch? Or is it the world city you see on the streets — a cross-cultural stew of sites, sounds and smells that is a constant source of wonderment and allows no room for boredom?
Sure it’s all that, but mainly we love it because the food is so fucking good.
And speaking of attractive food writers….Las Vegas freelancer Grace (The Filipino Flash) Bascos was interviewed on WOR Radio in New York this week — by Arthur (Mr. Buffet ) Frommer, and his daughter Pauline. He was more interested in asking about the cost of everything, but Bascos, does an admirable job of mentioning our town’s multitude of culinary offerings — from L’Atelier to the Aureole wine tower to the small bites at RAKU to the boring buffets Arthur was obsessing on. Here’s the link to her interview. Scroll down the right side of the page to the “Travel” segments of the program, and listen in.
Way to go Bascos!
