NY Mag's Best of New York is out. Want to know what's good in your hood? Here's a handy little chart that will direct you to just that. Here's a glance at some of the more fun categories:
Best impromptu dance party: No Malice Palace, 197 East 3rd Street (take that cabaret laws!).
Best zoo animal: Sasha the Siberian tiger, Bronx Zoo.
Cheap men's haircut: Frank's Chop Shop, 19 Essex Street. (Wu-Tang Clan and actor Rick Gonzalez-approved!)
Best dim sum: Chinatown Brasserie, 380 Lafayette St (not in Chinatown!).
Best dive bar: Cordato's Deli and Bar, 94 1/2 Greenwich St. The bar through a door in the back of the deli sounds...interesting. From their description: "the spirit of the Pussycat Lounge seeps in from next door as girls give stool-top lap dances to ruddy-cheeked suits, do-ragged gangstas, and ground-zero workers. The melting pot occasionally boils over—last year, an off-duty cop accidentally shot a man who knocked over his beer."
And finally, the best loop-the-loop roller coaster goes to Talon...which is in Pennsylvania.
The list goes on and on and on, and even includes the best places to purchase inexpensive items for your living room. Just as a lot of their best of picks however, even the "budget" suggestions for this are a little bit pricey.

Chinatown Brasserie!? Are you f*cking kidding me?
I was thinking the same thing!
ditto for me as well. Bunch of fuktard snobs at New York Mag.
I love that a tight budget for New York mag is almost $4,000. Excuse me, but $500 is a tight budget. I imagine there are some readers of New York who can afford the lifestyle is sells, but I don't know any of them!
How can one accidentally shoot a person? Either the off duty cop had the gun in his holster or he took it out and pulled the trigger.
That dive bar? It's down the street from me and it's a pretty scary place. I mean that in a real way, not a Siberia way. If that article prompts your average Manhattan dive bar hopper to go there, someone is going to get hurt. Bet on it.
what a very shitty magazine.
Seconded, Christy.
Sounds like a place where only criminals hang out.
your Cops, drug dealers, wall street dealers, white trash LI construction workers, racists, pimps, whores, perverts and cattle rustlers.
Oh, and can you believe they are trying to Landmark that building?
Just demolish it, please.
They're trying to landmark those THREE buildings. Craziness. More than getting rid of that bar/deli, I'd love to see the Remy Lounge go. There's a major riot/fight outside that place every night it's open and the owner is a sleaze. That part of Greenwich is truly the Street That Time Forgot.
I agree on the living room on a budget article - like I'd really pay $800 for a living room rug when my rent is $600.
Man, now I can't WAIT to subscribe to the magazine.
When you're paid as much as the editor of New York Magazine, Adam Moss, is, then you think that nearly $4,ooo.oo is reasonable for livingroom furniture. (And NYM used to be the Sunday color insert for a now defunct newspaper, not a glossy high-priced star-chasing rag.)
These kinds of articles make me hate NY Magazine. Reminiscent of its presumptions that every parent in NYC is part of the pre-pre-pre-pre K admissions "craze."
Clay Felker formed New York Mag in '68 as one of the original glossies for urbanophiles less interested in news and literature (think The New Yorker) and more interested in starf**king and lifestyle porn. After 40 years, none of its bullshit should come as a surprise.
And Felker hired Milton Glaser/Push Pin Studios to design it. They changed the way magazines looked worldwide. But did it really do that much 'starf**king,' Lexiphane? Saturday Night Fever came from a NYM article for example; no stars there--lifestyle certainly.
