Are you able to access the article with the link. A friend sent the article email. NYT requires registration now I guess. I think DU allows only 4 paragraphs of articles.

Honorable mentions:
"Tabor Bread served me a very tasty $7.50 sandwich of their homemade tomato-onion jam, sheep’s milk feta and sprouts on their European-style dark rye, but it’s not a permanent menu item. And at the Sichuan restaurant Lucky Strike I could easily have made a meal of two smallish dishes: spicy dan dan noodles with ground peanuts, and the tender pork and cabbage jiaozi dumplings in spicy, delectably oily sauce. Together they’re $8, but only during happy hour."
