There are over 200 restaurants included in the directory at the end of “Classic Dining.” They cover the gamut from continental-style fine dining and historic ethnic restaurants, to old fashioned steakhouses and seafood emporia. However, there are obviously many more that aren’t listed which you, the reader, might know and love. So, after buying the book and reviewing the directory, if you don’t find your favorite(s) please add them below so that they will appear in the next edition of “Classic Dining.” Include a URL if possible.
Cheers!
