...and it's pretty 'off' as usual, but with some spot-on hits here and there.

Hmm...

I'm interested in seeing what they had to say food & restaurant wise. :P

Hoping to pick up a copy sometime today.

Somebody didn't edit well enough. Best Greek Restaurant and Best Haitian Restaurant are incorrect.

Best Greek is a Chinese place and Best Haitian is a Jamaican place. Oopsy.

Yeah, like I said, no one takes this seriously. Half the time it seems like it's written by some disgruntled white-boy college kid.

Haha

Dan, but don't the readers of the New Times vote these places in?

It used to be "what the New Times thinks" and "Readers' Choice"

On this site they have comment fields though, so maybe that's their "Readers' Choice" now.

Usually the Readers' Choice selections blow, too.

their restaurant stuff is good for reference but their food reviews are shit.

Best Web Site: Critical Miami

That one was interesting.

The content is refreshingly free of nightlife or celebrity gossip (there's plenty of that elsewhere), and the site's commenters actually, gasp, comment on the issues at hand rather than snipe anonymously.

Haha, a reference to Dirt Miami?
