 What's your favorite restaurant in your home city? Not the fanciest or the most expensive or the hardest to get a reservation at, but simply your favorite? What's the spot where you're guaranteed a great meal on every visit? That's the question CITY asked in compiling our list of 101 favorite restaurants across the country, as featured in our new Summer Food & Entertaining Issue, on newsstands this week. From Boston to Boulder, New York to New Orleans, we hit 55 different American cities and just about every cuisine on the menu. Check out the full list in the new issue or online and tell us about your favorite restaurants at www.city-magazine.com/restaurants
The new issue also features an in-depth look at what may be one of the most serious threats to our food chain: the decline of our honeybee population. As scientists race all summer to discover the culprit for this phenomenon, CITY asks if one of the alternatives — the outsourcing of America's farms and agriculture — is an option we really want to choose. We also turn to one of the country's top sommeliers to find out how to avoid buying counterfeit wine, and we ask a celebrated chef to give us a guide to navigating your local green market. And for all you baseball fans bemoaning Barry Bonds' imminent breaking of Hank Aaron's home run record, sportswriter Jeff Pearlman takes a seat in the stands and puts America's pastime into perspective. |
