I agree to most of that but I think one of the most under realized art scenes in NYC is theater.  I know this sounds absurd with the big budget of Broadway, The Public and whatnot but there are still a ton of small projects that get put on in basements and halls and small theaters.  And I'm not talking exclusively…

Frozen Thin Mints are good but they don't have anything on Oreos dunked in milk until completely soggy.  They should do a taste test judging which types of foods are best when somehow modified (frozen, burnt, with milk, some other strange condiment pairing, etc.)
