Book Reviews of Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to New York City
Book Review: "Food Lover's Guide to Manhattan"
Summary: 4 Stars
While this is probably the best current book on NYC food, beware that it only contains listings within Manhattan. As any serious NYC food lover knows, some of the best chow in NYC is in the Outer Boroughs. I still recommend this book for the great detail on what's available in Manhattan. However, it is odd to have completely omitted the awesome chow in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island and especially Queens.
I found most of the reviews in the book to be refreshingly honest. Not only does the author make recommendations on what to buy, he notes if certain items are over-hyped and nothing special.
It should be noted that several of the shops included went out of business before the book was published (e.g. Payard Patisserie). That is an unavoidable fact for any book trying to cover this high-turnover industry in Manhattan. These books tend to be outdated with a couple of years. Make sure you call and verify that a business is still open.
I really hope that Mike Colameco will write a book covering each of the other boroughs with the same attention that he has devoted to Manhattan.
