The
'lWItaurant
~orter
A critical review
of
eating
place.
In
and near New York
More than a guide to dining out -
an eminently readable journal of food,
wine, and the public table.
• The
Restaurant Reporter
is a new period–
ical, written for people who like good res–
taurants and abhor bad ones.
It
is now bo–
ing read by a growing list of New Yorkers
who know about - and care about - lIining
well.
• In and around New York, many res–
taurants have abandoned hospitality and
integrity: food is misrepresented - fresh
means frozen, sole means flounder, sauteed
means fried, rare means raw (or well done):
waiters and captains know little about their
own menus, less about food; wine, once an
overpriced mystery, is now an overpriced
gimmick: and prices are ridiculously high.
• The
Reporter
investigates hundreds of
eating places each year, and reports on which
are best, and why; what is good or bad about
the others; which ones to avoid.
It
seeks out
restaurants that are littit-known, but worth–
while.
• The
RestaurtJltt Reporter
is published
fortnightly, and sold by subscription only.
Ono-year subSCriptions cost $25, but an at·
tractive introductory offer is available now
- for regular subscriptions, and Christmas
gift subscriptions.
