Village Voice Choice Eats — March 19

I can’t wait.  Village Voice’s Choice Eats event on March 19 is my go-to event for NYC foodies.    This year marks the sixth version of this annual tasting event, which takes place at the 69th Armory at 68 Lexington Avenue (26th Street) from 6:30-9:30pm.  The 2013 line-up includes an amazing 86 restaurants from the five boroughs (including Brooklyn, of course), all hand-selected by the Voice’s food critics Robert Sietsema and Tejal Rao.  New as well as established restaurants are represented, including the delightful Qi Thai Grill from Pichet Ong and Sripraphai, a welcome newcomer in Williamsburg.  Some of my other favorites making repeat appearances are Luke’s Lobster (hopefully with lobster rolls, instead of shrimp rolls this year) and Txikito, Alex Raj’s Basque-Mediterranean tapas emporium from Chelsea.  As those of you who have attended in the past know, the evening isn’t only about food.  There’s also a great selection of craft beers, wines, and other alcoholic libations to sample.  Bring a valid i.d., as only 21 and older are admitted.  www.villagevoice.com/choiceeats
