        <content>i surveyed on paper, and then online, for the NYC zagat guide for a few years, and then they would send me a free copy of the new one when it came out in the mail.  are they still participating in this?  i can't find anything about it online.</content>

      <content>I'm not sure this link will work for you since, as a registered Zagat voter with a cookie on my computer going to Zagat.com takes me directly to my voting page--but let's give it a try:

      <content>I think the voting and free copy is only for a limited time in each area. I just received mine!</content>

      <content>It still works.  You just have to catch the surveys when they are online.  You can change your preferences online so that they email you for your area.</content>

      <content>This is totally legit. If you fill in the survey and turn it in before the closing date, you will receive a copy of the that guide in the mail.</content>

      <content>Back in May, I filled in the 2008 survey for New York City. Yesterday I received my free guide in the mail. A $16 value... just for doing what I love to do: write about restaurants. They send it out about a month after the guide is published. </content>

      <content>Me too.  Just got mine in the mail.  The trick is you have to complete the survey by their deadline in order to get the free copy.  Once you've signed up online and done it once, then you get the reminder emails regularly whenever one is being surveyed in your area (nyc restaurants, marketplace, nightlife, etc.).  DH also does some of the national ones (hotels, etc.) and I think those are on totally different schedules; so the email reminders really help.</content>

      <content>Exactly. I keep my free guide in the car. Zagat's must have heard this because a few days later they send a street map guide of the Bay Area with color-coded restros info (pin points). It's of nice quality but I don't see using the map...however for visitors, it's perfect. </content>

      <content>The questionnaire for the 2009 Zagat NYC Restaurant Guide is now online. If you complete it by April 27, 2008, you do indeed get a free copy.
