AltaVista's MagicBit link has good travel-related features. When you spend a lot of time on the road, the glamour of room service quickly fades. If you don't know the city, you can't tell whether the restaurant is around the block or across town. Your local phone directory from the night before won't be any help. Once again, the Web comes to your aid.
Most big cities have restaurant guides somewhere on the Net.
Click on Visit a City to get to the master directory. In the restaurant guide section, you can browse through a list of all eateries that have been reviewed, or you can search by such criteria as price, location and cuisine. The site is often slow, but it isn't a Yellow Pages listing. It covers only the better restaurants and gives complete reviews, so the wait may be worth it to you. Check for the latest changes.
