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

Topical and Informative
More efficient than the internet, if not as detailed. If you're wondering about a restaurant in NYC, the first (and only) guide to grab is Zagat's. 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 Get the 2006 version, and you're already out of date!
