“The Top 40 Restaurants in One Dining Guide”

Ask a group of foodies to list their top 10 New York City restaurants and you’re likely to engage in a heated “discussion” that will last well into the small hours of the morning, if not the following week. Naming the top 40 NYC restaurants might be a bit easier, but it’s still a daunting task but it’s one that Dutch photographer Jan Bartelsman has tackled in “Dining in New York City, Best Chefs Edition,” an elegant compact volume of this city’s finest dining experiences including exquisite and whimsical photographs, and food writing by the likes of Jeffrey Steingarten.

Included in his list of forty you’ll find L’Atelier de Joel Robouchon, Annisa, Anthos, Bouley, Del Posto, Kuruma Zushi, WD-50, and Le Bernardin, with each entry containing both the hard facts on the restaurants (owner, address, hours) but also essays that lend insight to the passion and vision behind every chef.

Dining in New York City, Best Chef’s Edition is $19.95 on Amazon.com and makes a great gift for the foodie in your life. It can also be personalized and customized as a corporate gift (if your company actually has the cash for stuff like that anymore) by visiting http://www.jcwpr.com.
