 About the Author

Born and raised (so far) in New York City, sixth grader David Pines loves to surf — restaurant guides, that is. But, he never found a guide or website that captures all the best spots for kids. That’s when David decided to create his own guide to the ever-exciting and ever-changing New York restaurant scene. Along with various members of his family, David went on food hunts throughout the City to find the very best dishes for kids. The results are all here, and David is excited to share his findings with you. In addition to participating in food hunts, David burns thousands of calories a week playing tennis, baseball and/or soccer. He is also an avid skier who can find the best lunch spots at any mountain resort.
