New York City Restaurants

For almost thirty years, ZAGAT has reported on the shared experiences of diners. This book shows the results of the 2009 New York City Restaurant Survey, covering nearly 2,000 restaurants.

The surveyors are 54% women and 46% men. 52% are in their 20s and 30s and 48% are 40 and over. No matter the economic climate, New York's appetite for lively dining destinations continues unabated, inspiring ever bolder ventures. For every notable closing, there's another restaurateur waiting in the wings, often joined by an expensive team of architects and designers, and ZAGAT is always there to note the changes.
