If flipping through Zagat's 1,808 reviews to find the perfect Manhattan eatery fails, check out Ontheroad.com, a subscription-based site catering to business travelers.
The Ontheroad team - many of whom are former editors and writers for Fodor's, Let's Go, and Berlitz - review and recommend the best restaurants for courting clients, closing deals, and celebrating mergers in popular business cities. They even give the skinny on where to sit. "To make an indelible impression at an important dinner," suggests the blurb on The Four Seasons, "ask for a seat next to the pool." And it's not just top chow halls: The site lists sports events, galleries, and insider tips on local business services to help you survive in unfamiliar territory.
Weekly updates can also be downloaded to Palm or Windows CE handhelds. At press time the site offered an inside scoop on 15 cities, with only a few international destinations. However, it plans to cover 75 business spots worldwide.
Ontheroad.com: one-year subscription $99.95. On the Road: +1 (415) 777 9500,www.ontheroad.com.
