We’re not spending our hard-earned dollars if we don’t have to, and one thing we’ve cut back on is subscriptions (no wonder Domino is gone). Since we’re total foodies we really miss the Zagat Guides, which we always got as gifts from random people trying to sell us things. You know, insurance agents, real estate brokers, morticians… But when the economy tanked, they stopped sending them. We were bummed but we weren’t shelling out either.
We love the ‘lists’ that Zagat assembles, and we’re now on their email ‘buzz’ list that tells us what’s happening and new in town. Since we aren’t paying, we don’t get their ratings and details, but what do you want for free?

Hurricanes have a way of putting us all in our place. Really. Are you stuck at home? The power is unreliable. The television, internet, phones are all down. What’s a girl to do?
Play fun and games the old fashioned way. Need some ideas?

Insurance: The Parachute

Insurance is a parachute. If you trip down the stairs, stumble a little, you don’t need it. But if you fall off a cliff? Or the big bad hurricane blows your house down–you’ll be grateful for it. Insurance is not designed to prevent/correct...

If you’re a cheese lover you know how easy it is to end up with the ends of once great cheese. While you’re all too happy to open the fridge, peel back the wrap and nibble away, these pieces are not presentable on the table at cocktail...

Totally agree that Zagat Buzz emails are the way to go. I used to be a diehard Zagat reader, but now I find that CitySearch and Yelp reviews are more up-to-date and comprehensive.
If you’re still eager for the latest Zagat Guides, you can usually get them for free by filling out their annual survey.
