Zagat 2005 New York City Restaurants (Zagatsurvey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Every year after watching the NYC Marathon, my wife and I stroll to one of our favorite upper east side restaurants - Le Refuge. To our great shock, this year it was not open for the late lunch we planned (as it has been for years). I was bummed out. Because food is so expensive in New York, I like to have a solid recommendation from a fellow foodie. My wife suggested that I stop in a book store and check for local eateries in Zagats. They had the new 2005 edition, so I bought it, flipped through the local selections, and found Cafe Edgar (upper west side) for a light, relatively inexpensive lunch with amazing deserts. Here's a rave, the book paid for itself the first time I used it. Bottom line, this is a must-have tool for any New Yorker who eats out on a regular basis. It is written by and for people like you. The reviews are a great jumping off point for additional research - I like comparing Time Out New York reviews against the Zagat short takes. The restaurants are listed in alphabetical order with other cuts by geography, cuisine and more - very useful. Again, with the prices of a NY meal so high, going in a new restaurant blind could result in an expensive, bad meal. And in a city with so many great restaurants, that really is a crime.
