This guide makes for a more interesting read than Zagats. I have discovered new dining options that I wouldn't have tried as a result of reading it.The coverage of the five boroughs of NY City is excellent, however referencing and classification of restaurants could be more helpful.The major flaw with this guide is it's claim to cover the tri-state area. The coverage of NJ, CT and NY State is more limited. Although the guide does venture as far as the Berkshires (Ma). The sparsity of reviews outside of NYC gives the impression the reviews for the rest of the "Tri" state resulted from wrong turns off of I95 or I80.Superb coverage of NYC, scant coverage of the rest for the Tri State area.
