Reviewing the New York Times

It’s been a crazy week, but check back on Friday to read the post reviewing the short review Dirt Candy got in the New York Times this Wednesday.

.

You can read the review-lette here.

.

By the way, out of curiosity, what do you think of it? Is it good? Is it bad? Is there a slight patronizing tone wafting through it, or is that just my imagination? I mean, it’s nice to be reviewed by the New York Times and all, but still… Maybe I’m just exhausted from working all the time? Please, gentle readers, set me straight by sending your thoughts on the mini-review to info at dirtcandynyc dot com.

.

UPDATE: It wasn’t until I saw the print edition of the paper that I learned how to get a rave from the New York Times: I either need to be a chain restaurant or I need a giant bee mascot. Yes, I was paired in “Dining Briefs” with a review of Filipino chain restaurant Jollibee (627 outlets and counting).
