We have full faith in the culinary opinions of our stalwart critics, Adam Platt, Rob Patronite, and Robin Raisfeld, but sometimes what we really want to hear is what the average diner has to say. So we turn to nymag.com’s restaurant user reviews for guidance. This week: Seersucker, Pies-N-Thighs, Abe & Arthur’s, Vanessa’s Dumplings, and Fette Sau.
