Zagat Dining Guide – How to Get a Free Copy

Do you ever wish you had a guide to all the great restaurants in your city to keep handy? One that is small enough to fit in your purse, but thick enough to be thorough? If so, then Zagat Dining Guide may be your answer. Not keen on spending the money to purchase it? Look no further, here’s a way to get your copy of the Zagat Guide for free.

First, head on over to the Zagat website at http://www.zagat.com and set up a free account. It won’t take you very long. Once you have your account, sign in, and scroll down towards the bottom of the webpage. On the left side you will find a section entitled “Vote.” Here you will get a list of active Zagat Guide surveys. If your city is listed then you can click on the link and vote in the Zagat Dining Guide survey for it. For instance, if you live in New York City, then you would look for New York City Restaraunts, and click on it. If your city isn’t listed, check back often as they are always adding new surveys.

After clicking on your city, you will be directed to the Zagat Survey home page. On this page there will be some instructions which normally include the deadline, the amount of restaurants you are required to review (usually 10), and how to submit votes.

Upon completion of reading the directions, you will be set to begin the Zagat Dining Guide survey. You can do this a number of different ways. You can simply type in the name of the restaurant, search for it by the first letter of its name, browse by neighborhood, or pull up the entire list of establishments available for review.

When you find the name of the restaurant you are looking for, click the red box entitled “Cast Your Vote.” You will be asked to enter your ratings using a number system of 0-3, on categories such as food, decor, service, and cost. You will also be asked to enter a brief comment about the establishment.

Once you have finished with your ten votes you will be taken to a page where you rank your top 3. After your ranking is done your final step is to submit your votes. All that’s left is to keep checking your mailbox for the free copy you’ll receive in the mail.
