Last night Time Out New York held the 2011 Food & Drink Awards, a celebration of the year’s best places to eat and drink, along with the amazing chefs and barkeeps. The awards ceremony took place at Le Poisson Rouge. The word is that it was more relaxed this year, with no acceptance speeches nor formal announcements, allowing honorees and celebrants more time for cocktails and photo ops. Take a look!

Some of the Reader's choice winners: Best New Restaurant went to ABC Kitchen, Best New Cocktail Bar was awarded to Dram, Chef of the Year went to Dan Kluger, Fatty 'Cue took home the trophy for Best New Brooklyn Restaurant, and The John Dory Oyster Bar was awarded Best Comeback.

Dram served up punch, Pies & Thighs served biscuits, Brooklyn Star offered up chicken and waffles and ABC Kitchen wiped clean the calorie slate with bacon donuts. Mmmmm....
