To those who’ve been asking, or even those who have not, this year’s Young & Hungry Dining Guide is now available online. As they say during sports broadcasts, we’ve had some technical difficulties.

The online version is not a complete duplication of the printed dining guide. It still doesn’t feature the introduction found in the paper version.  Allow me to summarize: Fine dining is dead. Well, at least moribund.

If the intro doesn’t eventually find its way onto the Web, I’ll publish it here later.

In the meantime, look for more Y&H Dining Guide materials this week on the blog, like my five favorite coffeehouses, my five favorite pizzerias, my five favorite restaurants that didn’t make the list, and so on. I’ll be rolling them out in the coming days.

Do you have questions about this year’s guide? Comments? Criticisms? Let me hear ’em, either in the comments section below or via e-mail.
