Part Four Best Wine List Veritas 43 E. 20th St. (betw. Park Ave. S. & B’way) 353-3700 Who Woulda Thunk? This was a fairly easy choice, given that you’ll probably find 80 to 90 percent of most other restaurants’ wine lists among the selections at Veritas. The list reads like a phone book–indeed, some of

Part One Best After-Hours Club El Gato Negro (closed) At Night All Cats Are Black. Too bad it had to end. While it was going, nothing could touch it. If you were a bartender, a bouncer, a promoter, DJ or night owl, there was really only one place to go. Sizzle was a played-out coke

Part Two Best Summer Film Festival Newport International Film Festival Green Screen. In Newport, RI, of all places, kinda off the beaten path (no direct flights from Cannes or to Telluride), but the June 5 weekend brought excellent weather to a spot quiet and cozy enough for you to actually think about the movies rather

Part One Best Lumber Home Depot 550 Hamilton Ave.,(betw. 16th & 17th Sts.), Brooklyn, 718-832-8553 If We Were a Carpenter. It sure isn’t Best Home Depot, however. “What do they think?” we wonder, as we stroll–or rather, dodge our way–through the disorderly mega-aisles of this warehouse retailer. “What must the Home Depot execs think when

Hey, thanks for including the Bridge and Tunnel Club in the Best of Manhattan 2001 (10/3). That was really cool and I don’t even mind–not at all–being a part of the "Best Letdown." It’s kind of an honor, actually. Scott Sendrow, Astoria Slightly Less Easy I just read your review of the Bridge and Tunnel

Written by Russ Smith on October 9, 2001. Posted in Best of Manhattan, Posts

Not surprisingly, New York Press’ 14th annual Best of Manhattan issue is as subdued as the city itself. It was originally planned for Sept. 19, but we pushed back publishing our largest annual edition for several obvious reasons. Primarily, in the midst of New York City’s most severe crisis, with so many citizens mourning the
