The Liberty City Restaurant Guide
We managed to convince our intern Gordon Mark to step away from playing Grand Theft Auto IV and come to Serious Eats headquarters so we could scan the manual's bar and restaurant information. It includes Al Dente's in the Borough of Algonquin's Fish Market South: "Heavily processed food, deep-frozen in huge warehouses, just like mama never used to make."
And there's the Homebrew Cafe in Beechwood City, in the Borough of Broker (Brooklyn): "Assume the goat is goat, and don't ask where the beer comes from at this Jamaican bar, where they take the smoking ban about as seriously as they take the local police."
Full-size scans, after the jump.

Manhattan's Chinatown is a huge neighborhood that seems to be getting bigger every day. Although it's a good thing that the neighborhood offers a nearly endless number of eateries, you may be overwhelmed by all the choices. Where do you go on an empty stomach? What do you order? Sometimes, when you're faced with such a wealth of options, it's best to narrow your focus a bit. This, then, is a guide to Chinatown bakeries.
