Zagat Guides

http://www.zagat.com
Many American’s believe that Zagat is the standard for other travel
and recreation guides. I will advise you to subscribe for its monthly
or yearly online restaurant guides for a tiny amount and enjoy the
comprehensive ratings. You cannot go wrong with thousands of people
who have eaten in the restaurant of your choice. I am a subscriber to
its online version and to me it is probably the only guide that I
might ever need.

Epicurious

http://eat.epicurious.com
This is probably the most respected online website when it comes to
food. They have free online guide to the best restaurants in selected
regions. Yes, they do have a fantastic review of the French Laundry.
They also have their top 50 restaurant picks in America. Here is the
