Tim Zagat

Back in 1992, Tim Zagat and renowned restaurateur Joe Baum conceived of enlisting top Manhattan restaurants to offer $19.92 lunches as a promotion while the Democratic National Convention was in town. NYC's popular Restaurant Week was born. Given the success, cities around the nation gradually started their own versions of the promotion.
