  Don't get me wrong - Daniel is a treasure (both the man and the 
 restaurant). I've met him on several occasions and written about him and 
 his various projects. He's part of what makes NYC great, and I didn't mean 
 to diminish his restaurant or his accomplishments. But I can't help feeling 
 [what I think of as] a kind of fustiness in the atmosphere there. Others 
 may love the place for just what I'm interpreting as a negative, and that's 
 what makes horse races, isn't it?
