		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know whether it is some sort of über-hip response to conventional expectations, or maybe it&#8217;s the prevalence of young chefs who know how to cook but don&#8217;t have the experience to crack the whip with the help, but too many restaurants with solid, interesting kitchens and bars have lousy service. Oh, the waiters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the grand question that most New Yorkers ask themselves at least a few times: &#8220;Where the hell should we eat in Midtown?&#8221; If money is no object then the answer is simple. Jean Georges or Marea or Per Se if you can get a reservation. And don&#8217;t forget Le Bernardin if you favor seafood. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not the often tough mature spinach with the stems that are more like green-hued tree trunks. I mean the baby spinach that is nice and tender and disappears in a matter of a few minutes of conventional cooking into an unrecognizable mess of liquid and spinach mush. So what&#8217;s to be done with it? Nothing [...]]]></description>
