How it Came About, and THE RULES

Hello, this is Spring. Not too long ago, I reallized that whenever my boyfriend, Evan, and I go out to eat, we always end up at the same ten or so places. Most of the time it's just out of laziness and convenience. However, we live in New York City, one of the most food-friendly cities in all the world. That's when the plan began....

For six months, we're going to attempt to eat at a different restaurant each time. This runs from April 1st to October 1st, unless we later decide to extend. We've set a few rules to help out:

1) We can have one "safe restaurant". We haven't picked it yet, but this will be the place we go to if we're feeling REALLY brain dead or need a place in a hurry.

2) Lunch places don't count. We both work in very tourist-heavy areas, so affordable lunch places are few and far between. If we try out a new place at lunch, that's fine! But the place is still considered "new" for dinner.

3) Overly specialty places (coffee shops, dessert places, Pommes Frites) don't count. Those places are like the accessories of the food world, and we're trying to keep this limited to the whole outfit!

4) All of our old stand-bys are temporarily considered "new" again. They go into the rotation as possibilities. However, unless we designate one as the "safe restaurant", and after we've gone to it once, it's outta there.

The main point of this blog is to document where we've been, as we both have pretty terrible memories. Neither of us is a foodie at all, and all reviews will be written from our basic non-culinary point of view. If we like the place, we'll tell you. If not, that too. If anyone out there ends of reading this little blog, I don't want it to be so frilly with the descriptions of the food that you still have no clue at the end if it's a good place or not.

Lastly, dear readers, suggestions are always welcome. Any restaurant, no matter how big small expensive cheap fancy hole-in-the-wall it is, is welcome for consideration. We're open to any place in all of New York City, and possibly Long Island and New Jersey (it had better be good, though, if you're going to send us out there!!!!).

Thanks for reading!
