It's customary to say that picking the winners was no easy task. But that wouldn't be entirely truthful. In fact, exploring the city to search out the best it has to offer is not a job, but a pleasure. Now it's your turn.

Food All things culinary, from the most avant-garde sushi to the most retro meatloaf.

Shopping The cool computer emporium, the hippest sneaker haunt, and everything in between.

Nightlife Where to dance, drink, club, cruise, and—yes, it’s still possible!—have a smoke.

Fun & Games Live and learn: tango lessons, cooking classes, comedy workshops, kids’ crafts.
