This old floor that will now be supporting our wine bar has seen many business over its 100+ years. As a result the floor was in terrible shape. We agonized over saving it because of the tremendous amount of effort needed to do so. In the end decided to go ahead with salvaging it because of the warmth and one of a kind look it will add to the wine bar.

My pick hands down would be Eric Asimov from the NY Times.

He includes the food editor and local sommelier to conduct tastings and the web interactive feature offered online with the articles are just stellar.
Crisp, Refreshing and Greek is his latest. kybecca happens to have his top pick as well.
