Author Description

For twenty-four years, Zagat Survey has reported on the shared experiences of diners, travellers and, of late, golfers, movie goers and nightlife enthusiasts. Now, we're proud to bring you the ultimate guide to shopping in New York. By surveying thousands of people, we hope to have achieved a uniquely current and accurate guide, one that will lead shoppers to new finds as well as reliably smart, self-assured decisions. This edition covers well over 2,000 establishments ranging from fashion to furniture. To make sure this guide is up-to-moment, we've also included some places that have not been rated yet. The covered in the book were rated separately on the quality of the merchandise, presentation and service by 7,200 surveyors, who shop on average 2.75 time a week (adding up to more thana million trips a year!). Of those reviewers 72% were women and only 28% were men, the breakdown by age is 34% in their 20s; 30% 30s; 16% 40s; 14% 50s and 6% 60s and above.
