    Alright Yelpers!

    Just curious to get your opinions about what you would call "American (New)" in the Restaurants Category and perhaps a link to a restaurant that you think exemplifies that genre.

    Can't wait to read your suggestions :-)

    I've never been able to really figure out what that category means. But to me, it always suggests tiny portions arranged in towers on large plates, for a dinner that I hope someone else is paying for... or perhaps "celebrity chef" fare.

    I was wondering that myself when I noticed one of the restaurants I recently reviewed was categorized "American (New)"

    Curious....

    I keep wondering why they don't have a category for "Canadian (New)"?!??!!

    @Reena: I think "West Coast Cuisine" should be a category!

    I agree with Reena, but think its a general term blanketing the North American region for the tendency of pulling from different continents to liven up traditional North America food :)
