Best place to be seen
The Waverly Inn
Other nominees: bobo, Da Silvano, Morandi
Ever since Graydon Carter first opened the Waverly Inn’s tiny wooden door in October 2006, it has been the It place. Even if you’re not a boldface name, the blinding paparazzi outside make you feel like one. And of course, you get to ignore the likes of Beyoncé, Bono and De Niro as you saunter to the bathroom. But if you’re not famous, and you don’t have Graydon’s number, here’s how to get in: Go in person, between 5 and 6pm, and don’t be a dick. Seriously, being snotty will get you nada—moments after we’d been offered a selection of tables, a braying trader and his demanding mate were told, “There’s nothing. Sorry.” If you are refused, smile sweetly and say you’ll gladly take a table on Sunday—after all, you only come for the pork chops.…

definately a place that many locals go. outside seating can be nice if you can get one. tab is always reasonable. everything else like service and food is EH. i have left with my party before ordering because the host/waiter was just plain rude and obnoxious. frankly, they need to get over themselves... but i guess as long as ppl keep coming.

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!
