Tamara Palmer just unveiled a fun new “pick this not that” list at Eater offering comparable but more affordable alternatives to the city’s finer restaurants. For instance, South Sea Seafood Village, where they’ve got “authentic versions of a lot of Wo Hing’s treats for about half the price.” And AQ, where you can get a fine, inspired California meal for a fraction of the price of an albeit more inspired meal at Saison. It’s like Designer Imposters! But is Mr. Pollo ever going to be as satisfying as Quince? That one might be a stretch. [Eater]
