The New York Restaurant Wish List
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
Pete Wells: A really first-rate Cantonese restaurant, like what Hakkasan could have been if the quality were as high as the prices. A spectacle with better than average food, where tourists will feel like they saw New York and New Yorkers will feel like they weren’t ripped off. (In other words, the kind of place that the Rainbow Room was under Joe Baum.) A Moroccan restaurant with a chef who pays attention to ingredients. More, and better, restaurants in Harlem, Bedford-Stuyvesant and the Bronx. And a place that does for Vietnamese food what Ayada, Sripraphai or, in a slightly different vein, Pok Pok Ny have done for Thai.

Super geeky digital cinema talk: Michael Cioni prepping for a 4 K World. Man, the tech at the top end (Hollywood) is amazing. If I'm understanding right, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was shot in 5K and the final product (not dailies, etc..., just the final film itself) was 51TB! And holy cow, I'd never heard of the Clipster before - what a monster.
