The Starving Gator: New York's hidden gems
By Sydney Brodie | July 4, 2014I’m spending the summer in New York City for an internship and, being the foodie that I am, I mapped a strategic plan of restaurants I wanted to hit months in advance.

Marcel Proust, the great French author, is famous for connecting food and memory with madeleines, “those squat plump little cakes.” We certainly have him to thank for those little packages of “petite French cakes” at every Starbucks checkout.
