But Zagat Survey co-founder Tim Zagat says the upside of the downturn is that restaurants are trying harder to please.
He says 56 percent of the 39,000 people who completed surveys said they're finding better deals when they eat out and 37 percent said it's easier to get a table.
The 2010 Zagat guide to New York City restaurants covers more than 2,000 eateries in all five boroughs.
Surveyors say the most popular restaurant is Gramercy Tavern, known for its contemporary American cuisine. French seafood temple Le Bernardin has the top food ranking.
