Yesterday marked the two year anniversary of the The Dishelin Guide. This happens to be my 100th post. To celebrate the confluence of these monotonous occasions and thank all of you for making it possible, I have compiled a list of my 100 favorite dishes in NYC. For easier viewing, they are sorted by cuisine type. And because I love you guys, I didn’t even make it a slideshow. Enjoy!
