Patsy's is on page 138.

So, it is only fitting that we peruse this fabulous work and tell you about it. You know we love New York Restaurants from Peachy's Picks and Tasty Tidbits-in fact, we will be reviewing a new one tonight. But for lunch, we are taking a look at some lovely choices from The New York Restaurant Cookbook. The updated edition features 30 new restaurants. We are pleased to see the Fig and Olive mentioned where our friend Will works, and the Lobster Cakes from the 21 Club on page 38 sound out of this world. Pampano even features Lobster Tacos! Oyster Stew from the Oyster Bar...can you tell Peachy Deegan loves seafood? Whatever your favorite cuisine, you will be sure to find it in this wonderful cookbook. Where else other than New York City can boast such an array or restaurant recipes!

“I will go as far to say that the fabric—not just the collective stomach—of New York has been nourished, nurtured, and enriched by this great industry.” – Danny Meyer from the Afterword

THE NEW YORK RESTAURANT COOKBOOK: Recipes From the City’s Best Chefs (Rizzoli; May 2009), presents recipes for the signature dishes from over 100 of the city’s best restaurants, all selected and painstakingly adapted by respected food journalist Florence Fabricant. This classic cookbook is now completely updated with 30 all-new recipes from the most important restaurants in Manhattan, and its surrounding boroughs, on the scene today.

Produced in conjunction with NYC & Company, New York City’s official tourism marketing organization and partnership, this book has the trusted stamp of approval and the participation of the city’s brightest chefs and restaurants. Readers will find recipes divided into eleven separate chapters including Appetizers; Soups; Salads; Pasta & Rissoto; Eggs, Sandwiches, Pizza & Brunch; Seafood; Poultry; Meat; Side Dishes; Desserts; and Drinks—allowing for easy menu planning.

From the timeless Union Square Cafe with their Grilled Filet Mignon of Tuna to Brooklyn’s hip The Grocery’s Seared Foie Gras with Asian Pear and Endive Salad, from the iconic Second Avenue Deli’s comforting Chicken Soup to the newly minted Fig & Olive offering a fresh Zucchini Carpaccio recipe, THE NEW YORK RESTAURANT COOKBOOK gives home cooks the chance to re-create the signature dishes each restaurant offers. Equally valuable are the chef’s tips, wine and beverage suggestions, an exhaustive sources list, and full directory of restaurant addresses.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
