I lived in New Orleans as a kid, and sometimes I drive over there just to eat here:

Galatoires Restaurant New Orleans, Louisiana
Mushroom bordelaise, and etoufee...[sigh]. New orleans certainly has alot to offer. Nice mix of so many cuisines....
In Paris I had veal Normandy, it was unlike anything plus a bottle of Chateau Y'quem .

In general those who dont travel dont realize the mix of cuisines, i never realized SC areas had such infusion of african cuisine, is what makes it diverse.

Then again, I'm a sucker for italian cooking, and NYC has some of the best in the US for that.
Define NYC cuisine?
If you mean great examples of other regions cuisine,that may indeed be true.

Well, when I say "NYC cuisine", I don't specifically mean cuisine that is native to NYC (other than their fantastic dirty dogs), rather the many different types of cuisine you can find in NYC, with Little Italy and Chinatown possibly being home to some of the best food in America.

Ok...will you eat fried chicken? Because if you will, Frog Legs taste even better. The only downside is that they don't have enough meat on'em. I can eat a thousand of them things if i can get ahold of some.
Okay, but now you have to drive them everywhere.

Other regions cuisine,just in one geographic area....well that may be.

So it is like a large food court....

Pretty much. Every time I go to NYC, we find somewhere else amazing to eat at.

as long as there are good cooks everywhere there will be good food everywhere. same goes for crappy cooks,they are everywhere. people who dont or cant cook are the real experts cause they eat out more often or they would starve to death.

I also prefer a dry rub, but I have had some excellent barbeque sauce. Sometimes I will barbeque with a dry rub, and then add barbeque sauce in the last minute or two just before the meat is done. It is a matter of personal preference, so I do not want to say which is better or worse. I have had great barbeque in several different States, including Alaska. My personal preference just happens to be Texas style.

Speaking of diversity, Anchorage has an Argentinian restaurant that is really good, and more Asian (China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, etc.) restaurants than you can shake a stick at. There are even a few Mexican restaurants, and barbeque joints. The Sourdough Mining Company has the best barbeque in Anchorage, including cornbread fritters, and they also use a dry rub and slow cook the ribs and brisket all day.
