NYC dinning tips

Brian made an interesting observation last weekend while we were exploring the East Village for food. He said that if you stumble upon 2 restaurants, one with a Zagat rated sign and the other without, always pick the former. Make sense... But the best tip on dinning in NYC came from Brian's roommate John who recommended that Menupages is a must-have for every diner in NYC. This website not only have over 4000 restaurants rated by users but every listed restaurant has an on-screen menu available for viewing. So you can check out reviews, rating, menu offerings, and prices online. Too bad, this website only shows restaurants that are based in NYC.

Not for long: they're expanding into Boston and San Francisco this year, and Miami and Chicaco either late 2006 or early 2007.

It's funny you mention Menupages today, I was talking about them yesterday. 7M pageviews a month is impressive.

Awesome. Displaying the menu is a great idea I don't know why it wasn't done before.

I think that when it comes to food in NY - out of experience - the best thing to do is to rely on locals. they know the best places to eat. the variety in NY is incredible. it doesnt always go hand in hand with quality. The locals know best. trust me
