A couple of days apart, I found out about Wikis (you must have heard about Wikipedia) put to good use to offer information on Restaurants and Wine.
The first one, Savory actually offers two distinct sites, Savory New York close to us in New Jersey and on the West Coast, Savory San Francisco. You can search restaurants by neighborhoods, there is also a Featured Restaurant Showcase and Video and a short List of other recent Restaurant Videos.
The video feature is similar to some of the videos offered by Turn Here which we reviewed in Turn Here, Video Guides for Travelers in June.
The second wiki New York Corked offers an alphabetical list of New York restaurants with they corkage fees and policies complemented by ratings of the service and also the quality of the wine glasses offered.
One restaurant I would not bring wine to is DiFara’s Pizza in Brooklyn. They do not charge a corkage fee for good reason, the only ‘glassware’ they offer is (ouch!) paper cups.
I found out about Savory on Becks & Posh. As for New York Corked I have to thank Alder of Vinography for pointing it to us.
