Our City Dining Cards boys have been on the road the last few months, seeking out the best eateries in 8 cities across the northeast for the 2012-2013 decks. Here’s a little mix for summer days on the road with windows down, fast food wrappers strewn about your feet, warped pavement mirages for miles ahead.
