Places to Dine in New York City [NYC] this February.
We are excited to be back with another list of Places to Dine in NYC. Someone DM and asked how our lists are structured. Our places to dine list is a combination of places we have dined, places that has been highly recommended and a few with very good reviews. The latter takes up a small portion of this series but we believe they are important to include to create a diverse list. We are all unique and have different taste making it a wonderful way of including another person perspective.
Our goal in the coming months is to improve this list to include ONLY our Top Ten places to dine.
