A to Z List: 2003 Picks
Advertising
Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
Food
New York staples, should-be New-York staples, southern breakfasts, English brunches, and more great stuff to eat.
Services
You've got questions. Where can I get this shirt monogrammed? How do I fix this antique furniture without ruining it? We've got answers.
Shopping
Vintage jewelry, starter furniture, high-fashion sportswear, and other ways to improve wall to wall and head to toe.
Nightlife
The secret clubs and back-room deli-slash-dive-bars where the city's most enjoyable carousing goes down.
Beauty
Physical self-improvement methods both conventional and creative, from yoga and fusion to "lymphatic drainage" and "manscaping."
Kids
Sophisticated maternity clothes, kid-tested play spaces, and other necessities for parents and those being parented.
