NYC: OVERRATED & UNDERRATED.
External link:
Sean S. sent me this article from Time Out New York (TONY), with the assurance that it was "your kinda shit," which it is. It lists places and things in New York that the TONY editors consider to be overrated and those that they consider to be underrated. No surprise, practically all the overrated things are in Manhattan and many of the underrated things are in Brooklyn. I don't agree with all their choices (e.g., "Weekend activity: OVERRATED: BRUNCH . . . UNDERRATED: SLEEP"). And keep in mind that even when you agree with TONY, all the overrated things are still very good to great, and sometimes even better than the underrated things. But I do have to admit that even some of the things in New York that I really, really love, like the Carnegie Deli and Lombardi's Pizza might indeed be a tad overrated. But the TONY editors seem unduly turned-off by large crowds, where I find that busy energy to be one of the most charming things about New York. But anyway, the important thing is not to avoid the overrated places, but to check out the underrated ones. So, if you're in New York, or thinking of coming, check out the article.
