Restaurants - Tip #3 Go Somewhere New



This kills me (but then again, I guess that's the point of this blog, to tell people how to stop annoying me). There are thousands of restaurants in NYC, everywhere. You can turn any corner and see a restaurant, sometimes 5 restaurants. So why is it that when you come to visit NYC for the first or hundredth time, you go to Olive Garden, Red Lobster, TGI Fridays or Chilis!?!?!

I just don't get it. The concierge at your hotel would be HAPPY to help you find a quaint little cafe/deli/fine dining establishment that will fit your taste buds and your wallet. Geez, that's what they are there for. You can get Taco Bell and Red Lobster in any city. And I'm sure you are a big customer back home, but for pete's sake, you are in one of the food capitol's of the world. Take a stab at Little Italy or head up the Upper East Side (really anywhere in 2nd Ave between 67th and 86th streets you are bound to find something).

So please, venture out and if you have NO idea where to go, then ask. Like I said before. New Yorkers are an extremely proud people and would love to tell you their favorite hole in the wall place with THE best homemade ravioli's.
