With 2018 wrapping up, we've been looking back at a great year of dining and drinking. Here's our list of the best new restaurants of the year, as well as the best new bars.
As much as we were impressed by all the big-money openings of the year, we grew a little tired of the copycat nature of the restaurant industry. So we served up five restaurant trends we think should disappear in 2019.
Have you spotted any openings or closings that aren't on our list? Let us know in the comments or send an email to [email protected]. And watch for our 2018 Restaurant Roll Call coming January 1.
