2 comments about Zagat 2005 New York City Shopping (Zagatsurvey New York City Shopping).
- I had high hopes for this one since I'm a Zagat junky. It's already out of date and there was too much space devoted to chain stores. Little treasures that I know of were left out. I guess that will keep tourists from invading them though.
- The guide covers only shops selling products, not services.
Ratings are given according to the same method that Zagat uses for restaurants (i.e. shoppers voluntary reports).
The guide is NOT user friendly: shops are organized alphabetically. A terrible choice. They are NOT organized by product or location, so a forniture store in chelsea is followed by a clothing store in the upper westside, followed by an eyewear store in midtown and so on. There is an idex of shops by product and an index of shops by location, but those indexes only have shop names so you cannot get an overview, you have to keep on going back and forth dozens of times. There is an index of indexes (I kid you not) that tell you were the most useful index can be found.
The guide is only minimally informative: each shop description has less than 10 lines on average. Usually, at least 3 are taken by name and address. The remaining 7 lines (on average) might be enough for the topic of the other Zagat guides, but they are in no way sufficient to describe the pletora of diverse shops listed here. E.g. you find out that X is a forniture store, but is it mainly a sofa store? mainly a lamp store? are the sofas tradition? modern? is the selection extensive? is the price range wide? There is no way to know.
The only good thing I can say about this guide is that it gives you the website addresses of the shops, so (if they have it) you can check them out of your own.
I regret the purchase.
