6. Sam Sifton's last review as food critic for the New York Times was in today's paper. He declared Per Se to be the best restaurant in NYC.
SO this is the best restaurant in New York City: Per Se, in the Time Warner Center, just up the escalator from the mall, a jewel amid the zirconia. I make the argument unreservedly. I have eaten in restaurants five or more nights a week for the last two years, always in search of the best and most delectable, the most interesting and important. And I have come back again and again to Per Se to find it. [NYT]
