Talk to people at pubs, ask new friends their top 3 places to eat. Word of Mouth is the best advertising of good places to go. GILT group, Urban Daddy, Tasting Table, Zozi are all good online blogish sites. Also taking a look at Groupon, LivingSocial and Scoutmob for places with deals gives you decent deals and often have new places trying to get business that are worth trying.
