We’re not spending our hard-earned dollars if we don’t have to, and one thing we’ve cut back on is subscriptions (no wonder Domino is gone). Since we’re total foodies we really miss the Zagat Guides, which we always got as gifts from random people trying to sell us things. You know, insurance agents, real estate brokers, morticians… But when the economy tanked, they stopped sending them. We were bummed but we weren’t shelling out either.
We love the ‘lists’ that Zagat assembles, and we’re now on their email ‘buzz’ list that tells us what’s happening and new in town. Since we aren’t paying, we don’t get their ratings and details, but what do you want for free?

women earn .78 for every $1 men make because we drop out of the work force to raise children. thought you should know that.

Totally agree that Zagat Buzz emails are the way to go. I used to be a diehard Zagat reader, but now I find that CitySearch and Yelp reviews are more up-to-date and comprehensive.
If you’re still eager for the latest Zagat Guides, you can usually get them for free by filling out their annual survey.
