One thing is for sure the NY Times can make or break a New York restaurant. I know of one restaurant that got a one star yet the review read more like a two star and after the review came out 50% of their reservations cancelled. The restaurant was very good and had positive reviews elsewhere.

Says as much about people's reading skills as it does about the Times.

i would bet a large percent of "readers" look at the star rating only. kinda like points assigned to wines.

Even before the digital age, the NYT was a national newspaper. Granted, I grew up on Long Island reading it, nevertheless I subscribed to daily delivery in Ithaca, NY, Boston and DC long before a computer edition was a gleam in anyone's eye.
