I believe that "someone", but that doesn't mean I can't try...
I have started an official NYC bucket list. This list includes several categories: Things to do/see, Restaurants and Bars, etc. The list of restaurants and bars is already overwhelming. Thankfully, "Yelp" is my new best friend, providing me with info and reviews on places in my neighborhood and beyond.
I am very pleased to be living Downtown, away from many of the large chain restaurants. My neighborhood and the surrounding streets are lined with beautiful Italian restaurants, delicious (and CHEAP!) fast-food places, dive-bars, jazz & comedy clubs, etc. etc. To give you some perspective, I had never even been inside a Whole Foods before moving to New York. Vermont does not welcome large chains. It is actually the only state in the US without a Target. This is just one of the many things I love about my home state...but I won't deny that I love having access to all these stores just around the corner. :)
So the NYC bucket list continues to grow. I imagine I will go broke before finishing the list, but at least I can say I tried, ate, and saw.
I'm looking forward to eating weird ethnic cuisine, enjoying shows on Broadway, and soaking up life as a (NEW) New Yorker.
OH! And I should mention that one item has, indeed, been checked off the foodie bucket list. Grom gelato.
Need I say more? :)
