Best of Everything 2007
By The Best of Everything, we dont mean to suggest a comprehensive guide to New York Citys finest exterminators, hairdressers and plumbers. No, the purpose of this annual issue is to ferret out what makes this crazy town so perfectly imperfect. Some of what you read here comes laced with irony, much like the institutions and people it describes. Other items may suggest our peculiar obsession with the hidden gemsthe things only those of us who live, work and play in these five boroughs know about and love. But everything in these pages deserves acknowledgement and attention, if only because our crack team of correspondents have combed New York for months in service to you, the reader of the New York Press, and for not very much money, either.
