restaurant list
ATTENTION: THESE LINKS DO NOT WORK! How pointless is that, eh? When I upgraded Movable Type, all my links changed. Oh bother. For now, you can search for restaurants in the search field in the left column. I'll leave up this un-corrected list for now. Sorry!
This isn't just a list of restaurants, but a list of food places in general (such as BAKERIES and CHOCOLATE SHOPS; can't forget about those) organized by general area (which is organized by areas I've eaten more frequently in, downtown/uptown, Manhattan/outside Manhattan) with links to related entries. It also doesn't cover everything on my website (yeah, I eat way more than this...god, shoot me), although it covers the main stuff. If you're so curious, you can also search for something on my site by using the handy search function in the left column.
Anything with a * next to it means I really like it. ...Which probably means it's cheap or a bakery.

Norway (Bergen)
I went on a vacation to Bergen, Norway and...ate stuff! The trip didn't involve a lot of eating out, but you can learn about various Norwegian foodstuffs if you look through my entries from that time period.
