Zig Zag

I think we could all use some cheering up, so I'm suggesting you give yourself a little gift this holiday season -- and, it's free! If you love good food, print out your local Zagat Guide's "Top Rating" list for your area and eat local. Try a new restaurant every time you have occasion to go out to dinner and check them off. Don't worry, not everything on their list is a splurge. Not only will you find hidden gems you didn't know existed in your city, but you'll also frequently be supporting local businesses.
