Index to Cities and Towns with Restaurant Picks

I have now provided restaurant picks by friends for an increasing number of cities and towns. This blog post serves as an index to them with links for easy access. I will continue to update this index as I add more places.

Why do I wro\ite about restaurant picks by friends when Zagat and other places have plenty of reviews for most cities? My reviews are by people I know and trust their tastes. I do not know the people in Zagat’s. I get both personalization and authentication. You just have to decide how much you trust me versus the “official” guides. Google seems to like me more than some of them but then what do they know. I certainly do not pretend to be an expert. I just know what I like and the list is paart of my personal knowledge management system. I hope it helps you, also. Here is a post that explains it in more detail, Restaurant Reviews – Why I Blog Them. In this post I also show how I both agree and disagree with another ’official” reviewer, Gourmet Magazine.

I recived the following comment through email abotu a restaurant in my first Paris pick. There is not an easy way to go back there now so her eit is. "Your web page on eating in Paris reports that you could not find a reference to "Le Clos des Moriccons." Actually, what you are looking for is "Le Clos Morillons" at 50 rue des Morillons with a phone # 0148280437."
