Time Out names NY's best food and drink for 2007

Time Out magazine last night awarded its annual bar and restaurant awards, with Buddakan, The Good Fork and A Voce among the big winners.

There are readers picks -- and then there are the critics picks, which is something of a mishmash including a few ha-ha-so-funny-I-forgot-to-laugh categories such as "Best defense for Billyburg gentrification" (Dressler.)
