#ZAGAT TICO DC CRACKED#
In other words, no one else has cracked the code. Its website is virtually unusable for restaurant search, and it doesn’t have a mobile app for restaurants.
What about Michelin? Michelin hasn’t made much of a dent in American food consciousness beyond restaurant biz insiders and jet setters who can afford to drop in at Eleven Madison Park one night followed by Arpège the next and Osteria Francescana the next. New York Times? Not (nearly) enough data no mobile app. Chowhound? Hardcore foodie audience, deep content, virtually impossible to search and navigate. OpenTable? For reservations, yes, but not for the reviews or the ratings. market after its acquisition by India-based Zomato. UrbanSpoon? An also-ran in the first place, now languishing in the U.S.
So you get thoughtful, honest user reviews of restaurants … written by tourists who don’t know your city but sure do know their hotels. They also are effective at rooting out paid fakes. TripAdvisor is constructed so that people who want to review things have to put in more effort, making them more committed. This is great as a secondary means of research after you’ve done primary research from a more informative source. Foodspotting lets you view user-contributed photos of specific dishes at restaurants in your immediate vicinity or another location. Speaking of Instagram, there’s Foodspotting. Then, if you try again a year later, the places will all be closed because their styles or ingredients are no longer trendy and the Instagram-your-meal crowd has moved on. You’ll be unable to get a reservation and will stand in line for hours.
This means you'll probably have a hard time actually eating in any of those places. Eater tells you (and often determines) what the 38 trendiest places are in each city.
