NYC Dining Websites

Here a list of websites on NYC dining that I find useful. Eventually, I want to find a way to have permanent links on the blog homepage to this list and to a list of my favorite restaurants. I'll need to look into how to do this, and I may have to build my own website to be able to add these kind of customized features.

NYC Department of Health Restaurant Inspections

Safety first! I believe this site has inspection reports on every restaurant in New York City. If you are thinking of going to a place that is not listed on this site, then it's probably illegit!

St. Mark's Place Food Map

A guide to the eclectic mix of restaurants in the St. Mark's Place area.

Opentable

Make reservations online rather than call and haggle with the reservationist. Especially handy for fancy places such as Felidia, Daniel, Union Square Cafe, and Gramercy Tavern.

Menupages
http://www.menupages.com/
I like researching a restaurant extensively before going for the first time. Here I can read up on menus for pretty much every restaurant in the city.

New York Metro Dining
http://www.newyorkmetro.com/restaurants/
I like NewYorkMetro.com's dining section. Reviews on a large number of restaurants with insightful information.

The Food Section
http://www.thefoodsection.com/foodsection/
A great food and dining website/blog focused mostly on New York City. Tons of helpful information and great links along with frequent blog entries by the site's author.
