Tucker Shaw, food lover, author, Everything I Ate: A Year in the Life of My Mouth: Gothamist
Do you ever walk through the streets of New York and marvel at the seemingly endless rows of restaurants, wondering how many years you'd have to live here to eat at all of them?

The result is a smorgasbord of food that's impossible to even page through without feeling a rumbling in your stomach.
