Best of My New York '09

 So, I have officially left NYC for the summer. I'm back home in Texas, looking for a job, reading, watching movies, and being really lazy. As I was in the cab going to Laguardia, I realized that I had a ton of pictures of the food i've been eating all year so I decided to do a best of/my favorites. Note that some of these prized picks are biased because of where I live. For example, I hear the falafel at Taim is supposed to be pretty good, but I live close to Union Square near the delicious Tahini/Enda's Falafel Shop and so it wins my support.
