        <content>I've done a search but would like some fresh opinions, as I'm based in London and therefore out of the NYC loop...

Which are the best / your favourite New York food blogs? Professional or amateur, either is fine.

I'm looking for restaurant visits, news, openings, reviews, etc - rather than cookery / recipe based blogs.

(I already have NY Times, Grub Street, Serious Eats, Eater, Diners Journal and NYC Nosh in my reader.)

Recommendations greatly appreciated! :)</content>

      <content>I like The Girl Who Ate Everything. She has me cracking up a lot with her writing. It's very cute, fun and light-hearted. And she likes to take lots of pics of the foods, showing us the innards. And she's a big fan of Pierre Herme (whom I LOVE)!

And I also am a fan of Dave Cook's blog. If you like off-the-beaten-path sorts of items, this one's for you. Not very verbose, but to the point. And he posts upcoming food events around NYC toward the latter part of the week.

      <content>Though not a "food blogger", here's a NYC fashion designer's list of her favorite neighborhood eateries.  Hope it helps!
