Best Dish 2005 goes to Captain Treats: this hommage to the lower east side starts off the most exciting tasting menu in NYC at wd~50
Best New 2005 goes to Aburiya Kinnosuke: my fav Japanese to date in this small town, yet Ushi Wakamaru rocks the sushi world and i didnt get back in all of 2005
Best 3:00 to 5:00 goes to The Modern: after tasting 20 dishes in the front room only (didnt love my one meal in the main dining room) this place with Tia Pol come in the best of 2005 with the above, p.s. great wine list at The Modern
Cru: cant bless this place enough thank you for doing what you do, been drinking rare treats all year, eating delish food. sadly while not affordable for all, there still is value for us whine geeks
