1.0 out of 5 stars This book is nothing more than paid advertising, March 8, 2009

This review is from: The Vegan Guide To New York City (Paperback)

Can you really trust the opinion of a "guide" book that is paid for by the places that are being reviewed? Will you really get an honest opinion? Doubtful! Compare the paid ads with the reviews and--surprise!--all those who paid money to Rynn Barry got a nice review. You are better off checking out online reviews from unpaid restaurant customers on CitySearch or Yelp.

4.0 out of 5 stars Web is better, but this book is still very useful, August 22, 2008

This review is from: The Vegan Guide To New York City (Paperback)

While the book could certainly be better, it's a good resource for vegans, vegetarians, and pro-veg people in or visiting NYC. The upside is you can keep this little book in your purse or bag and have it with you whenever you go out. The downside is, like anything published on paper, it's not a living document that changes as the real world changes. It's best to get up-to-date information about veg*n restaurants from the web, though this book is very useful if/when you don't have internet access.

Found this guide while visiting the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (beautiful, by the way) and was excited to try out the vegan restaurants in New York and Brooklyn, especially the North Williamsburg area of Brooklyn where I was staying. The guide was great for checking different neighborhoods and knowing what my options where, however when it came to the food 95% of the time I completely disagreed with the author. Maybe we just have different tastes or the cooking styles may have changed since publication, but I was very disappointed. By the way, my favorite restaurant was Wild Ginger on Bedford. Yum Yum Yum.
