My friend sent me a link to NewYorkMetro.com’s 101 Best Cheap Eats. I know this list is Manhattan-centric but it does give u some nice places to get some good foods at a reasonable price. Some of my favorite places are on this list.

Here’s my pick:
• For Thai food, Sripraphai is great, but I hate the long wait times there. It used to be much better before it got yupified but its still damn good.
• For pizza, its Di Fara Pizza hands down. The only downside to Di Fara is the long, long wait times. It’s worth it though.
• Totonno’s is a nice alternative pizzaria, especially if you dont’ want the long wait times at Di Faras.
• Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is great for ribs. I love the ribs there. But then again, I love ribs in general. The New York location is almost as good as the Syracuse one.
• ’ino and ’inoteca are great for some panini’s. My girlfriend and I love the food there.
• If I’m feeling hungry for something Chinese, I love Grand Sichuan St. Marks. My coworker and I go there quite a bit for some spicy beef.
• If i’m broke, which is almost all the time, I love Grey’s Papaya for some cheap but delicious hot dogs. You can’t beat their special- 2.95 for 2 hot dogs and a fruit drink.

As you can see, I’ve changed the style of the site a bit. I modified the original WordPress Connections theme by Patricia Müller to fit my needs. There are lots of small little changes. However, one of the most noticable is the top banner. I’ve reduced the height of the top banner so that it takes up less space, allowing you to see more of the page without scrolling.

I also made companion theme for ZenPhoto as well. One of my friends got annoying with scrolling to look at pictures (you lazy bum) so i tried to minimize scrolling as much as possible. If your resolution i set to 1024×768, you sould be able to see most of the picures without scrolling. I’m trying to incorporate a slideshow and a navigation system similar to the one flickr uses. However, since I’m busy with work, I won’t have too much time to work on this. I’ll tyr to get it up ASAP, but it might be some time.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.
