Peachy and The Pug: We Hope The New York Post is Drinking The Peachy Deegan Made with Star Vodka at Swifty's, the Absolute Hottest Table in New York City and Birthplace of The Peachy Deegan

On Sunday, May 29th the New York Post published what they think are the ten best tables in New York City.  

They say:
1. The Darby
2. Abe & Arthur
3. The Breslin
4. ABC Kitchen
5. The Lion
6. Minetta Tavern
7. Beauty and Essex
8. Fresco by Scotto
9. Bar Pitti
10. Swifty's

What we find interesting about this list is that we have eaten at one place dozens of times, and have not eaten at the others.  We think it would have been an even better list by The New York Post if they had included the year each venue began and each venue's key people and their history in the restaurant business.  We do not think any others can compare to the historic impact Swifty's has had on Manhattan culture and society, and we challenge any others on this list to come up with crabcakes as fabulous as Mover and Shaker Executive Chef Stephen Attoe's...and not to mention the chocolate souffle which Peachy and Liz Smith both cannot say enough about.  

And what are the ten best tables in New York City according to Peachy Deegan?  The places that serve her drink, of course!  It is not an accident where it is at....
