I use the Transmedia book to find some interesting spots in areas, that I am not familiar with. It has been a pretty good source of reasonablyy priced good food. the discount helped. There was only one Italian restaurant, that wasn't up to a minimum standard. But they are a 'financing' organization, that advances loans to restaurants and in turn gets some repayment from the charges made.
Noticed that there was a dropout of some local places in the last booklet.
