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
jamon imberico

jamon 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.
Christopher Hitchens on why he thinks women aren’t as funny as men, (ok, with the exception of rita rudner - ah hahahaha)
i hope the money they offer him for rocky 7 will bring him back out of retirement.
what the fuck is an "embargoed" interview? is that like self-censorship or was woodward hoarding this so hed have some fresh quotes in the event of fords death?
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.....
7) Tia Pol....even though the menu stays the same I love this place, and almost all the menu (the lovely owners are opening in thier own words "a real tapas restaurant" next spring, I am going everyday for a week!! And I know it will rock the 07 charts)
does anybody know where i can find a map of the us militarys classification of baghdads ethno-sectarian divide? ive been looking for about two weeks and i just dont see it anywhere. so much for the vaunted internets.
8) Grand Sichuan 33/34 Lex location....our current hang out of this "chain", when its on its ON!!
But sadly I am feeling MSG is not good for the body, so I am going to have to rething this place for 07....

Audie Murphy in To Hell and Back on AMC at 11:45am.
Since getting cable I’ve been running into Murphy in B Westerns and I found him to be an odd character. He’s the strong silent type with a long fuse, turning deadly when pushed to it; a classic American hero type, but he’s also a baby-faced naïf, which complicates the image. Turns out he’s an early reality star: the most-decorated soldier of WWII basically playing himself in Hollywood, and literally in To Hell and Back, his autobiography.

stone ipa (hoppy holidays!)
who are you calling a knob of butter?
9) Tommaso's 86th St Brooklyn.....great priced old wines plus when Chef Tom is cooking for you it can be quite excellent home-style hearty regional Italian....
anybody catch colbert last night? it was notable as the last show of the year but also because it had a green screen guitar solo challenge with the guitarist from the decembrists and colbert. colbert after donning the famed five necked guitar from cheap trick feigns injury only to be replaced by peter frampton and his talk box. the challenge was anti-climatic but the show closed with the four guitarists (apples in stereo lead singer opened the show with a song and the dude from cheap trick who wrote the colbert themesong joined in) playing the themesong with colbert hooked up to the talkbox. that was the best moment. the morley safer, eliot spitzer and henry kissenger cameos created a surreal line-up. more bizarre than entertaining really.
