This New York City-based home-delivery service is what every food shopping site should aspire to be. Ordering is a snap, and it's beautifully illustrated with bright and colorful photos (even the raw slabs of beef look pretty). Even if you don't live in the Big Apple, the site is worth visiting for its wealth of information. In the potato section, for example, it doesn't just list 16 varieties; it describes each one in detail, rates its taste and texture and offers serving suggestions.
First, a caveat. This is not a directory of the 50 greatest websites ever. Rather, it's a tally of the best sites launched or piqued our interest in some way since last year's list. Think of it as our round-up of 50 nifty links we think you should check out. So get clicking!
