Did they just steal their own restaurant reviews? MOst of the places in here are not really bars, they are restaurants. They must have been in a hurry to put this out. Zagat's top choices are pretty bad if you want go out and drink. Great if you want to eat at a top 10 restaurant though. Stick to what they know. Food surveys.

The blurbs they use for this type of book don't really work well. Zagat is good for restaurants, but for bars they seem to lack any edge. Nobody really cares whether a beer is 4 or 5 dollars. They want o know what a place is really like, and this guide doesn't do that. If you are 40 years old and looking for a safe spot to eat and drink, this is the guide for you. There are better choices for this median available.

I happened to visit their top bar -- Angel's Share-- and if that's the top bar, I'm afraid what they thought of the other bars. It makes me wonder how they compiled the ratings.

This book could not have been very well researched. It looks more like an attempt to take your money from the money grubbing Zagats. How could this posible be published for New Yorkers.....
