LOL, what makes you think I haven't visited? I've been to NYC several times and the food is very good. I have no interest in moving there because it isn't laid back enough for me. I don't think it's better at all foods than everyone else... but there's nothing wrong with taking pride in your city.  |

NYC is known for steaks too. There's only one Peter Luger's, one of the most famous steak restaurants. |

Are you sure, because people get garlic knots up here from pizzerias. BTW-I believe that Half-moons(aka Black and Whites) started in Utica. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_white_cookie |

You haven't tried Sushi in California then. It's on a different level.
I remember watching Conan Obrien on the Tonight Show just after he moved to LA from NY and he said that the Sushi out west was WAY better lol. But then again he said he couln't find a decent bagle shop out West =) |
