the new york times NJ section

they don't have that fork on the map of NJ anymore. it's been weeks now. i always liked it as it gave me a sense as to where the reviewed restaurant was located.

it's probably just me.

I could never figure out which tine was pointing to the location so I found it difficult to use as a navigation tool.

there was certainly a margin of error with it, but it gave me an idea of the county at the very least.

In truth, it took me the longest time to figure out that the fork was actually indicating something of the location and wasn't just an iconic symbol. Maybe that's why they took it away, too many other goofy people like me were having internal debates about whether or not the fork moved from week to week or not.

I was joking about trying to navigate by tine.

LOL!! i did the same exact thing. and since i didn't really remember to check carefully when i actually knew where the place was, it took about a year to figure it out. i suppose that's part of why i'm pissed: i just figured it all out!

Figuring out the Riddle of the Fork must have been the way to enter the NY Times New Jersey section sanctum sanctorum.

Perhaps after the Jayson Blair debacle and the implementation of the plan to make "The New York Times less opaque as an institution," the Inner Fork Circle was seen as too exclusive and secretive and had to be disbanded.
