From A to Z: Miss Menu's Summer Dining Adventure

Hot town...summer in the city! Summer is officially in full swing, and I’m loving every minute of it. While I have a ton of long weekends planned, I don’t have one major vacation planned like I have the past few summers. So, I decided now is perfect for putting that time (and money) towards something fun right here in NYC.

 

So, without further ado, I’m so excited to announce: “From A to Z: Miss Menu’s Summer Dining Adventure.” From today and Labor Day, I am going to go to one restaurant that starts with each letter of the alphabet. After doing a little math, that’s 26 restaurants in about 68 days…a new place every 2 or 3 days. Shouldn’t be too hard, right?!

I know the first bunch will be easy, but I’m sure it’ll get tricky towards the end (especially the Q and X!). According to NYMag.com, there are 2890 restaurants in Manhattan alone. How am I ever going to decide which ones to go to for each letter?? This is where you come in. I would love to get a ton of recommendations from you, my trusty readers. To encourage some serious participation, “From A to Z” is going to feature a fun contest!

The grand prize will be a gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice from the final A-Z list. And there will be two runner up prizes as well.

Here’s how it’ll work. Everyone who participates will receive one entry. You can also receive an additional entry for doing any of the following:

- Comment on any “From A to Z” posts with your thoughts
- Email me with your suggestions for any letter
