No one knows restaurants like a New Yorker - they're incredibly discerning and restaurant savvy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the things I love about New York is that it's one of the only places where you could have an entire restaurant dedicated to macaroni and cheese.
I live in New York and I'm in New York basically all the time. I spend a lot of my time in my restaurants, and I feel like that's why they're successful.
New York City has fantastic restaurants and, unlike London, a lot of the best restaurants are relatively cheap.
I like to go out to different restaurants in New York. I'm a restaurant junkie.
I don't care what a lot of anonymous strangers think about restaurants.
New York has surprised me a couple of times. I was a snob about pizza, but I've found one or two places that allow me to forget deep dish for a while.
Each city should have its own type of restaurant.
One of the big things I miss about New York is not my friends so much; it's Shake Shack, the burger place. I miss Shake Shack.
I think all of Manhattan has pretty much become a bar-slash-nightclub-slash-restaurant. There were always pockets of that. But now every corner of Manhattan is that.
In one respect, it's easier to open a restaurant in New York because you get more media attention than anywhere else. Almost everyone will try a new place once, irrespective of the reviews, because it's a spectator sport.
