A hedonist's guide to eating
Posted Nov 11, 2008
Call us shallow but we've already judged these new books by their covers and like them very much.
Unlike other guide books that scream LOOK AT ME I'M A TOURIST the Hedonist series of guidebooks are far more discreet. From November 1st, two new additions to this cult travel series will be released dedicated to eating in style - A Hedonist's Guide to Eat New York & Eat London.
A true insider's guide to dining in the London and New York - the new titles aren't the usual guide books. Instead of relying on public opinion or professional reviewers like everyone else, they have canvassed the top restaurateurs, chefs, sommeliers, maitres d', critics and suppliers in each city and asked them for their picks. The result is a true insider's guide to the best dining in town.
Take New York for example - as the book's introduction states - everyone knows, "the hottest table in town changes faster than one of Superman's speeding bullets. So how to negotiate the culinary minefield that is Gotham's restaurant scene? The book is a comprehensive review of the 150 best restaurants, listed alphabetically and searchable by cuisine and venue type."
The titles can be pre-ordered now on Amazon.
