A few of my new favorite food sites:
Chowhound’s New York Region Home Page — this site contains great message boards about eating out in NYC. You can type in a question about where to find fish tacos, find out what people think about a new place, or read about the eternal Mary’s Fish Camp/Pearl Oyster Bar debate.
The Julie/Julia Project — this woman has spent the last year of her life methodically cooking every recipe in Julia Childs’ The Art of French Cooking. She also has a fantastic potty-mouth and raves about all the crazy NYC shit that the rest of us only think, but don’t commit to writing.
Menupages — this site contains printed menus from tons of NYC restaurants (Manhattan only, though). Very handy.
And finally — through Friendster, I discovered that a friend of mine is a major foodie — a fact I never learned in the 5 years that I’ve known him. He’s sort of an ancillary part of my circle of friends, so it’s not completely surprising that I didn’t know this before, but we’ve been having great IM chats about food, restaurants, and life in general. Who knows where that may lead?
