It's that time of the year again: NY Magazine's Best of New York issue is out. This is when already fans of certain establishments must put up with the hordes of people trying to get in on the action. For instance, restaurant Ici in Fort Greene will never be under the radar again. But it is helpful knowing that G+G Cleaners on Grand Street is a great cheap place for alterations and that Simadi Salon has good $50-100 haircuts. And who knew quilting was the next big hobby? Gothamist was happy to see that the top pick for best Chinese Banquet was Shanghai Pavilion, which we visited after a NY Times rave. However, also included this year are overrated food joints, like Peter Luger and Magnolia Bakery, but we doubt this will have much effect on these Teflon places.

12 bucks for a pants hem? There are couple of places that do it for $10 on 96th b/w Amsterdam & Colulmbus.
I guess this would be for maybe those midrange items... I do get my pants hems for $10 near me as well. Or maybe this guide is mainly for Lower East Side hipsters - I haven't read the whole thing!
The Modern for "best midtown lunch" is an interesting pick. Has it opened for lunch yet?
for what it's worth, i went to ici in fort greene on saturday and had a terrible meal. tasteless wine, and waited forever for entries that had key components that were far from hot. the people are very nice, the vibe is very chill, but i'm not going back.
Yes, the Modern is open
