sweet pr. also they advertise with qtags, another shot for mobis to be seen by mainstream via billboards and signs. Indeed, "the mobis are coming."

Zagat is big time. They are a big name in the restaurant biz, and many other businesses too. Very respected.

Garrett, thanks for always providing or asking for the original source of new information. It leaves little room for doubt about the authenticity. Rep added.

Are we all stoked about Zagat or what? :talk:

This is excellent news. I use the Zagat guide every weekend and there's been dozens of times where I've forgotten to bring the book and I'm curious about a particular restaurant's ratings. Problem solved

NOTE: I just noticed on page 269 (in the 2007 Washington DC Zagat) a one-page advertisement for "Zagat To Go Available at mobile.zagat.com". I'm assuming this will change to Zagat.mobi in the 2008 edition (which is a big deal considering the thousands of people who use this guide in NYC, DC, etc)
