The food blogs have been buzzing all day with the just released results of the 2010 Zagat Guide. But how did the 87 Lower East Side restaurants in the guide fare? Here's a first look:
- The highest "food" rating in our neighborhood was 25 (out of 30 possible points) – Sachiko's (the sushi spot on Clinton) and Clinton Street Baking Company were the only restaurants on this (relatively) lofty perch.
- Frankies, Apizz, WD-50 and Kuma Inn all scored 24 points.
- Some other highly regarded restaurants, including Falai and Allen & Delancey, were awaded 23 points by reviewers.
- Newcomer An Choi, "drawing hipsters and bankers alike" starts strong with a 21 food rating.
- Other newcomers like Sorella and Bia Garden were too new to rate.
So what do you think, did Zagat get it right?
