THE TRY FECTOR
1/2/3) Locanda Vini Olii, Clinton Hill Brooklyn.....the best Italian food in NYC IMHO, I allways eat way too much but its impossible to not want to pig out here, spring menu here is grand cru....
1/2/3) 11 Madison Park....I find the food fantastic, almost every dish.....clean, flavorful, and just rich enough.....love the room
1/2/3) wd~50.....this years awesome gaspacho almost beet out the first version and is of course tied for "dishs of the year", lots of other amazing new treats came out from the lab in 06, sadly I do have to say I miss Sam Mason in the dessert department (his new place will be on this top 10 in 07 for sure)

4) Aburiya Kinnosuke 213 East 45th......Cooked Japanese places have been poping up all over in 05/06, and some like Sakagura have been open 10 years. This is my fav of the bunch w/amazing chicken meatloaf, tofu many ways, and plenty of other tasty treats (r u ready for grilled dried fish??)....

cured ham 18 lb leg retailing for $320

the spanish table

j
amon imberico

Until now it has been unavailable in the U.S. Finally last fall the first producer in Spain was approved by the U.S. Government to export Iberico products to the U.S. Of course it takes a couple of years to produce a Jamon, so we are taking deposits on the scarce first shipments which will arrive in 2007-2008.

5) Sripraphai (aka Super Thai) 6413 39th Ave, Woodside....here is also tied for "dishs of the year"; fried soft shell crabs and fried watercress salad apps, both amazing....this place makes for great leftovers, sauces rock....it is spicy, $10-$15 corkage, bring very fruity wine, I like to order "medium spicy" to be wine friendly...GO!

6) Trestle on Tenth 24th corner 10th Ave.....love this place for the well priced "natural" wine list plus the hearty food...love the crepinette which is tied for "dishs of the year", lamb saddle, ribs, and at lunch the chicken Vol au Vent is not to be missed.....
