Jeremy Tepper shares his collection of vintage honky-tonk and trucker songs Mondays at Union Pool. Expect George, Merle, and the brilliantly bitter pre–“Take This Job and Shove It” Johnny Paycheck. For free live country in the same old-school spirit, try Hank’s Saloon’s raucous Sunday-night parties, with Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers. Feeling brave? Food’s on the house, barbecued outside on a gritty street corner.

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.
