Not so useful June 16, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

There's only so much you can pack in a book. The Zagat guide is woefully short when it comes to listings and does not (cannot) review a vast number of restaurants out there. For example, Taim, a great place to get Falafel in West Village is not mentioned here. Another example: check out the number of restaurants it lists in Union Square. Also, it's far more difficult to 'search' a book than just search for something online. The amount of page-flipping is tiresome and does not always yield great results.

Put simply, this is a relic of the bygone era - the information it contains is much better delivered via the internet. Far more detailed reviews are available online - why waste money on a book?

A good dictionary of restaurants February 22, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful

Zagats is a good resource, but there are just so many listings and not enough information. I have found many times that I don't agree with the restaurant reviews - which I suppose can happen, but their reviews tend to be very negative at times for restaurants that are quite good. It is nice that they get input from the consumers, but it would be nice to have a little professional input as well and not have reviews that are so biased.

Excellent But Irritating February 13, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

By Bill Marsano. The Zagat Survey series finds itself in an "enviable" position between newspapers that publish "professional" but infrequent reviews and dining blogs that rate more often but too often indulge in "amateurish score-settling," "tirades" and hostility. Zagat is almost always "up to date" if not "up to the minute"; it's easily "navigated" and many readers come to rely on it. All the dope a diner needs is in Zagat, as are, unfortunately, more quotation marks than "anyone" wants. I understand that they indicate that specific comments are contributors' own "words" asnd not the editors' "opinions," but they have long since outlived their "usefulness." The result is a "slim volume" whose "malformed prose" sounds like a "cacaphony."--Bill Marsano is an award-winning writer on travel, wine and spirits.

An Essential Reference January 24, 2007

This is a book that I find essential t o the kind of lifestyle that I try to maintain. It contains useful information on the world of fine and
not so fine dining in a format that I find easy to follow.

Topical and Informative January 12, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

If you're wondering about a restaurant in NYC, the first (and only) guide to grab is Zagat's. More efficient than the internet, if not as detailed. Very easy to read up on a place before you go. It's the one guide locals and tourists can both agree on. Very hard to navigate the choices in New York without it. The only challenge is keeping current, as the restaurant scene changes so quickly. Get the 2006 version, and you're already out of date!
