Zagat Cites Parkchester’s Willie’s Steak House

Want to find out where the best restaurants are in the Bronx, specifically Parkchester? Try Zagat's guide. In their “29th year” of reporting I think it’s safe to say Zagat’s “ratings and reviews” are definitely worth viewing. Their slogan reads “The Ultimate Restaurant Guide. From the Diner’s Point of View.” And - who better - give the most honest reviews than diners themselves?

The current edition – “Zagat: New York City Restaurants 2008” – cites Willie’s Steak House. And it seems the place offers more than just fine food. Latin Jazz, anybody??? Check out Maquina Amarilla live performance at the spot.
