We give you the lowdown on where the real people eat and drink. Our books are organized by neighborhood and contain hundreds of restaurant, café, and bar entries that offer you insider’s tips on where to go, where to park (or what bus or subway stop to take), what the best seats in the house are, and what menu items not to pass up. Tired of those other guides that inevitably guide you to the posh, the over-priced, overrated, and pretentious? We have the authentic, the mom-and-pops, and the neighborhood gems you’ve been hungering for.

Dozens of food-loving natives contribute to each city’s guide, so you always get the scoop. So whether you’re a tourist, commuter, resident, or native, we can be your first mate in your search for the freshest catch of the day, your pard’ner in rounding up the perfect steak, your personal guide as you tour the world of ethnic cuisine. We’ll even ride shotgun as you hop the bars of your city and later, seek out that hole-in-the-wall for the perfect after-hours snack.
