What Are Your Favorite Steals and Deals?
The only thing New Yorkers love more than a great deal is the chance to unceremoniously brag about it to anyone within earshot. For our upcoming 2008 Best of New York issue, we're looking to you to tell us what you think is the best steal in the city, and why. Is there a prix fixe brunch on your block that you'd pay double for (but are thrilled that you don't have to)? Or a can't-live-without cobbler who costs a fraction of what he should? We want your happy hours, your twofers, your half-offs, and your free rides. Send your best bargains and all-time favorite steals (plus your reasons for loving them) to steal@nymag.com, and we'll publish the best of the bunch in the ever-definitive Best of New York issue. The deadline for submissions is February 24, but the glory of a good deal lives forever.

Rudy Giuliani Braves the Delegate Dance of Doom
Today the Times plays the delegate game with Rudy Giuliani. “If he carries Florida, he carries New York,” historian and sometime Giuliani adviser Fred Siegel told the paper. That logic has a victory in Florida giving the former mayor the additional 183 delegates from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut (though it blatantly disregards how this race has proven that one primary can have little or no influence on the next). That would give Giuliani 15 percent of the delegates he needs (not counting Florida's 57). It's a boost that would not be insignificant, but the paper also reports that even Giuliani's staunch supporters in the Northeast are worried, and that McCain is edging ahead in New Jersey. (And, hilariously, the Associated Press has taken to calling his Florida campaign a "Hail Mary.") But as more and more news outlets are revving up their Giuliani Campaign Deathwatches, it's almost as if they, too, forget the lessons we've learned. Sure, all looks bad for him right now, but it did for McCain in late 2007, and it did for Hillary just before New Hampshire. No one can predict what's going to happen, not even those goddamned delegates.

The Irresolvable Argument Heard Round the World
In this week's New York cover story, we considered the merits of both New York and London. Who has better food, fashion, and nightlife? Is New York still the world's financial capital? What about progressive city planning or juicier gossip? We were hesitant to cede some of these points, but London got more credit than we knew we could give. And judging from the reactions of British papers and blogs, it's about bloody time. (But we still have better sex.) After the jump, opinions from around the world.
