    Dear Editor

    Your eatery and clubs is woefully limited and is very out of date. I haven’t lived in NYC in 6 years and 3 or 4 of the places you have on your list is out of business. Further you reviews only cover 3 neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Come on! I see you have at lest 2-3 people who live in NYC or north Jersey. What happened?
