The Purple Passport to New York City Restaurants

The Purple Passport to New York City Restaurants is part of the eBook guide series by The Purple Passport (http://www.thepurplepassport.com). Essential reading for hip, discerning travelers and on-the-go locals, the guide provides insider tips on over 190 of New York's most distinctive restaurants. While the guide includes assorted favorites from various boroughs, its focus is on Manhattan. The Purple Passport team has personally visited every spot recommended in the guide; compensation for featuring a venue in its eBooks or on The Purple Passport website is never accepted.

The carefully curated selection of venues, organized by neighborhood for quick and easy reference, allows readers to sample the full range of New York City dining experiences: everything from supping on the most refined avant-garde fare in the poshest restaurants to enjoying a casual burger and frozen custard in the park, and from scoring a seat at the trendiest foodie hangout to indulging in a just-like-grandma-makes cupcake. The incredible diversity of cuisines runs the gamut from worldly imports like Japanese-Peruvian, Scandinavian, and Venezuelan to local favorites like pizza, bagels, and deli fare. Some picks are of-the-moment hotspots; others are century-old institutions. But what they share in common is the vital essence of what it means to eat (and eat well) in New York with consistently excellent food and unique atmospheres.

The guide joins other titles in the expanding The Purple Passport eBook series (find them in the Amazon Kindle store), which also includes their comprehensive New York guide, The Purple Passport to New York City, covering hotels, spas, nightlife spots, shops, and activities as well as restaurants. Additional titles include The Purple Passport to London, The Purple Passport to Paris, The Purple Passport to Palm Beach, and The Purple Passport to Los Angeles.
