Eat Out Awards 2008
Readers’ choice
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.…NEXT: Best reality-TV spin-off »

At first, this cramped little place seemed to invite with its charmingly rustic decor. Shame all that had to be ruined by the cattiness of the wait staff. we asked for the option of ordering our food as if we were at a table but we'd agree to eat at the bar if no tables cleared out for us by the time the food came. This idea was considered APPALLING by the hostess and the bartender.You should have seen their catty little faces all scrunched up as they crabbed to each other about our audacity!
At first, this cramped little place seemed to invite with its charmingly rustic decor. Shame all that had to be ruined by the cattiness of the wait staff. When my girl and I walked in around 1pm, we noticed that two tables were on their ways to be opening up and even a moron knows that it's a lot more intimate for a couple to be sitting together at a booth or a table than to be elbow to elbow at a bar. With that in mind, and being as hungry as we were, we asked for the option of ordering our foo
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 readers haven't eaten at alchemy in a while. this is the worst restaurant in brooklyn.
Go Peter Daversa!!!!!!!!!The best cook in NY, Hill Country is lucky to have him
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!
I am a HUGE fan of the TREATS TRUCK and LOVE the MEXICAN BROWNIES!! I was surprised to see the TREATS TRUCK didn't win as everyone I know LOVES LOVES LOVES IT! HURRAY FOR THE TREATS TRUCK!!!! IT'S THE BEST IN NEW YORK!!!
Treats Truck has the best mobile food in NYC! Give me the world's best chocolate chip cookie over bacon creme anglaise any day!
