I've made a list of a few of the things that I liked in 2006. Restaurant names are linked to Yelp - check 'em out if you live in the Boston area. (Dear Yelp, your URLs are ugly)

Ethnic Food

Greek. I like the friendly people at Desfina and the chicken souvlaki at Greek Corner II

Restaurant, nice

Oleana on Hampshire St, Cambridge

Restaurant, take out

Punjabi Dhaba in Inman Square, Cambridge [yelp]

Wine store

The Wine and Cheese Cask in Somerville, MA

Wines

White: Sauvignon Blanc, Red: Cotes du Rhone

Cocktail

Manhattan

Book

"Air or Have, Not Have" by Geoff Ryman, I didn't read much this year :(

Comic

hm.. tough one. I guess I'd have to say Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith's "Fell". Pick up the first graphic novel in March - only $10 at Amazon

Website

del.icio.us. I use the bookmarking, searching by tag, and http://del.icio.us/popular daily.

Software

Omnigraffle, the storyboard/publishing/design swiss army knife for Macs

TV show

erm. none I guess. "Heroes" had my attention for a little while.

Movie

Did any really great films come out this year?

Album

"Orphans", Tom Wait's 3 disc collection of songs that "fell behind the stove while making dinner". Anti records has 3 free tracks. *really good*
