What do you do when New Yorkers recommend some restaurants, clubs, hotel and other fine places over and over again? Why make a list, of course, and get the word out. Which is precisely what our A List is all about. It's a compilation of the places people keep recommending because these favorites deserve their consistent popularity. So go on and Enjoy! And if your faves aren't on the list, why not start making your own recommendations whenever people ask. You may be nominating a future A List pick.
