Zagat survey

Zagat periodically invites registered users and subscribers to participate in surveys for its various restaurant and other city guides, and voters usually receive a free copy of the respective edition when it’s published. (Registration is free.) For you local foodies, the D.C. restaurant survey closes today; other currently active surveys include San Francisco, Philadelphia, and London, among others. I took a few minutes to vote on some of our favorite restaurants, and it was pretty painless; they encourage write-in comments that are “descriptive, witty, and pithy” (in fact there is a prize for especially insightful and clever comments), but as I spent minimal energy on this, mine probably sound more like movie-review blurbs. “Excellent food and winning ambiance!” (Link via DCFUD.)
