After a long, hard shift New York City's waiters like to eat, drink, and be merry like everybody else. But Gotham's servers aren't going to eat just anywhere. Because they work in some of the world's most famous and expensive restaurants, they develop discriminating foie gras tastes that, sadly, they're unable to afford on their liverwurst budgets. Therefore, when they go out after work, Big Apple waiters patronise establishments that offer excellent food, good service, and outstanding value for their hard-earned dollar. If you're visiting NYC from the UK and want to avoid the multitude of culinary tourist traps trying to suck those devaluing British pounds out of your wallet, your best bet is to ask a server where to eat. As the blogger of waiterrant.net and the author of Waiter Rant: Behind the Scenes of Dining Out, I've decided to give my friends "across the pond" a list of exceptional and affordable Manhattan eateries and bars popular with the New York "waiter mafia" .

Greenmarket was founded in 1976 with a two-fold mission: to promote regional agriculture by providing small family farms the opportunity to sell their locally grown products directly to consumers, and to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to the freshest, most nutritious locally grown food the region has to offer. What began over three decades ago with 12 farmers in a parking lot on 59th Street and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan has now grown to become the largest and most diverse outdoor urban farmers market network in the country, now with 54 markets, over 230 family farms and fishermen participating, and over 30,000 acres of farmland protected from development.
