New restaurant guide names NYC's Top 100
Crain's New York Business
November 11, 2008
The book takes an editorial approach rather than the customer-review tack used by the city's most popular dining guide, Zagat Survey. Where the Locals Eat gives descriptions of its choices for '100 Best Restaurants in New York,' as well as another 200 eateries, separated by neighborhood.... 'Without a doubt, New York City is heaven for foodies — no other city has such a diverse selection of top-notch restaurants,' said Bill King, founder of Magellan Press Inc., which published the guide. 'Because there are so many great options in New York City, the idea behind our new book is to guide not list.'

Review: LocalEats for iPhone
Macworld: iPhone Central
October 29, 2008
Me, I find LocalEats to be a handy addition to my travel gear—not just because it helps me find new places to explore, but because it helps me remember great places I've already eaten. A few years ago, I had the best crab cakes in the known universe at a restaurant just a few clicks away from the Baltimore-Washington International Airport—trouble was, I couldn't remember the name of the establishment. Well, after tapping on Baltimore, then Categories, then Crab cakes, I was able to track down the G&M Restaurant & Lounge in beautiful Linthicum Heights, Md.

New iPhone Dining Application Points You to Best Eats

August 13, 2008
The last iPhone dining application to make news was Urbanspoon, which frustrated Times critic Frank Bruni a little bit with its random slot machine approach to locating a good nearby restaurant. So we're curious to see if the latest iPhone toy, LocalEats, is more Bruni's speed. This feature seems pretty simple; drawing from a list of the 100 best restaurants in Manhattan and Brooklyn (as decreed by the folks at Where the Locals Eat), LocalEats uses GPS technology to refer users to the best nearby dining options. Which could come in handy when you're getting hungry in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
