Best new teahouse
Amai Tea & Bake House
Other nominees: Sanctuary T, Tafu, T Salon
Amai may be petite in many ways, from the size of its space to its miniature sweets, but the surplus of small things adds up to one monumental whole. An exhaustive list of premium teas, which includes everything from delicately floral oolongs to green-tea “flowers” that bloom in the cup, is more than worth the visit; add to that a selection of exceptional baked goods, like lemongrass-ginger cookies and transcendently moist green-tea cupcakes, and we understand why you gave this little place so much big love.

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!
