Plus my neighborhood still has a relatively nice balance where you can go to really good places that AREN'T always insanely jammed, with the exception of maybe Frankies Spuntino which I haven't been able to get a reasonable wait time for yet. Also Lucali is crazy, but if you show up before they open you don't wait so long.

I think long lines that are not equivalent to the payoff are pretty endemic of every big city!

Don't eat in Manhattan - brunch at least. Below 110th.
People in Brooklyn get to spend less, and avoid Euro-handbags. And there are actual food people cooking.
