There is not more sincere love than the love for the food!

This ineffable statement of Georges Bernard Shaw would seem to be availed for this useful text of. Eric Asimov. With more than 10.000 restaurants, New York offers an unparalleled opportunity to taste the cooking of the world. So in this order of ideas, you have the chance to win or let down, because there are many hidden gastronomic treasures of remarkable actuality, but besides there are a great number of bad restaurants; so the trick is to avoid them. Through his personal and very engaging style, Asimov proposes us a true tour de force, classifying them by nationalities; simultaneously, he suggests us the best dishes of every local. If you do not want to risk yourself and besides lack of enough time to enjoy of one the most gratifying and fascinating pleasures of the life, this book may become an excellent reference guide to discover unexpected places that you would never have found unless you have a sybarite fridn in this city. Go for this; you have nothing to loose and much to win.
Help for Impoverished Newcomers or Curious Local

Upon deplaning in JFK I was hungry and lost. This book introduced me to the myriad good-eating opportunities in New York and the thrill of hunting down the best Roast Beef Sandwich or plate of barbecue. Though some of the places reviewed in 1998 have since closed, that state of flux and sense of serendipity is part of the exploratory experience in New York. This is an alternative (or quirkier supplement) to the ubiquitous Zagat guide. Asimov's book is as well-suited for a recently arrived student as for an experienced diner looking for pleasure in Manhattan's nooks.
