This site is an insider's view into New York City's best service industry providers as poetically as possible and experienced first hand by a professional writer and critic of quality and excellence.
Services are unaware of the patronage by the critic at the time the review is performed. They cannot purchase or otherwise influence the reviews, which typically are published weeks or months after a visit so as to retain the confidentiality and therefore quality and accuracy provided throughout this website.
Any storefront wishing to be added to this list in the Tristate area may submit a request using the contact form. All requests will be honored on a best effort basis; however, the date and time the critic chooses to appear will remain confidential until the article is officially published.
Best is defined as a combination of the following factors:
- Quality ingredients
- Communication and behavior of staff
- Taste
- Price / Affordability for the value provided
- Ambiance / Environment / Location
- Presentation / Preparation
- Entertainment value; as opposed to enjoying the exact same service at home
- The overall care and investment in providing excellence made by management.
