Best new UWS restaurant
The Mermaid Inn
Other nominees: Bar Boulud, Community Food & Juice, Dovetail
From dining desert to destination in just 12 months: So it went on the Upper West Side, the year’s most surprisingly active restaurant ’hood. Your favorite uptown upstart was the Mermaid Inn, the Amsterdam Avenue spin-off of Danny Abrams’s perpetually packed downtown fish shack. In the five months since the location opened, diners have loaded in for New England–style staples like meaty lobster sandwiches with Old Bay–dusted fries, crispy fried clams, and grilled or roasted fish with all manner of sides (like broccoli rabe with preserved lemon). The maritime-meets-Americana interior sees a steady flow of locals who clink bottles of Fisherman’s Brew to toast their diminishing need for a MetroCard.

Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
