it's about our favorite nyc restaurant dishes, why we like them and how to cook them at home. is that not clear?

I'm sorry -- what do all these recipies have anything to do with new york? Why does it take a full page of the site's real estate and it has nothing to do with the whole point of this site?

I ate this soup at Craftbar several weeks ago. It was very nice, but as noted, a bit light on the crab. I think I prefer, as in the comment above, roasted parsnips (with vinegary glaze?) like those done by Scott Bieber at Taste, or parsnip puree.

You're right, parsnips are totally overlooked, but I am in love with roasted parsnips, and I had a scallop dish at Hearth recently with parsnip puree and pancetta -- the sweet and salty combination was delicious.
