Thanks so much for posting this. You’ve gone to a lot of trouble.
I’m in a bit of a rush right now, but let me say that some choices (the butcher, the baker, the fishmonger, the cheesemonger, the bagel-maker,… ) are entirely obvious and entirely excellent. EHChocolatier is new as an actual store and I can confirm that they are indeed very good.
I have mixed feelings about Dakzen as best Thai. Despite what I believe was originally claimed they offer a mix-and-match approach to their food (choose a protein, choose a sauce…) that’s depressing. On my last visit, many items were off the menu, some officially taped over, others just “not available today.”
Zam Zam was a new one for me. Has anybody here eaten there?
