Best of New York No one comes to New York who doesn't want the very best -- but who has the time for all that shopping and testing and sampling and comparing? We do, of course. In our annual, highly ritualized, quasi-scientific, much-imitated city survey, we've haggled with housecleaners, critiqued croque monsieurs, house-party-hopped, consumed the city in all its variety. And finally, the winners are in. Food From succulent suckling pig at Meigas to flash-fried fish and chips at A Salt & Battery to kimchee edamame at the Union Square Greenmarket: all the fantastic food you could want on your plate Shopping Perfectly frayed denim hip-huggers, vintage watches, the best bargain appliances, and -- believe it or not -- chicest maternity wear Downtime Day (sunbathing spots, pickup basketball, museum bookstores) and night (the happiest happy hour, the swankest screening room, the hottest cabaret), the fun never stops Kids Glamour-girl birthday parties, ferry trips to the Children's Museum, the most delectable doughnuts, and more, for the city's most demanding audience Beauty Perfect plucking, excellent exercising, cool coloring, wow-inducing waxing -- because beauty isn't only in the eye of the beholder Services Window washers, wedding planners, exterminators, bartenders, personal shoppers -- you might never have to lift a finger again
