We’ve already outed the chefs on Facebook, but what about the restaurants? More and more of them are using F-book to keep fans apprised of menu changes and specials (maybe you missed the 20 percent discount to promote Bobo’s new brunch last weekend?), not to mention getting onto a restaurant’s page might be the most discrete way to “poke” that cute waiter from last night. Leaving out chains like Max Brenner (17,556 fans! All of them presumably NYU students) and B.R. Guest (a lousy 397 hangers-on), we’ve compiled a pretty-much-comprehensive list of every single New York restaurant and café on Facebook, ranked from most popular to… well, let’s just say it’s kind of funny that 12 Chairs has 21 fans.
