Best Restaurant in NYC

According to the 2012 New York City Restaurants guide, the Big Apple's best decor can be found at Asiate, the restaurant located in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel at Columbus Circle. The eatery scored a 28 in the Decor category, beating out other high-end eateries like Daniel and Per-se - surely those views of Central Park helped push this place over the top.

• New York has a lot of wonderful restaurants to choose from such as French, Italian, Chinese etc. very much like every city in the world but to a greater degree in New York.

• However living in New York is a very fast lifestyle and there are many fast food outlets that compliment that lifestyle, unfortunately many New Yorkers rely too much on fast food outlets and in that context obesity is a problem in New York as it is indeed in America.
