On a quiet little street in the next up and coming neighborhood in New York, there are a number of restaurateurs who each want to become known as the culinary ruler of the neigh­borhood. But running a restaurant is not easy. You have to get good ingredients, make good hires, improve your restaurant space, and watch your bottom line. And after all that hard work, one bad review from a critic might kill you! The comp­etition is fierce, but if you can avoid the culinary slings and arrows, you might just survive and rule over Restaurant Row. Object of the Game To become the most well-regarded restaurant on Restaurant Row by the time the neighborhood’s reputation for food matures. To do this you need to be the dominant restaurant in the qualities that this neighborhood’s restaurants become best known for by the end of the game.
