When I started this blog I promised myself one thing: I would never, ever write one of those “I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while” posts. I am quite aware that no one is religiously reading my blog every week, and that no one’s life is affected in any way if I leave it blank for a while.

Nonetheless, I find myself itching to write an apology post, if only to clarify what I recently learned about the nature of this blog.

I write and edit things for a living so finding time to post here (or anything anywhere, for that matter) is difficult. Whenever personal projects rear their heads, this is the first sacrifice offered up to the creativity gods on the altar of Too Many Things to Juggle Right Now.

These recent months of inactivity came about due to a lack of time to properly explore any of our fine restaurants in the proper AYCENYC manner you have come to expect and love. However, further pondering this subject reminded me that I never intended for this space to be a review portal. It is here to celebrate NYC food culture in all its many forms.

Having been firmly reminded of this, I’m pleased to introduce a new regular feature on All You Can Eat NYC — Snack! These posts will be musings on food-related subjects far and wide, while the main posts will still focus on restaurants or other food-related establishments in the city. The combination of these will keep the content here fresh and lively and, hopefully, provide incentive for all of you rabid AYCENYC readers to check back often.

If you like what we’re up to, thanks for reading! And happy eating!
