There’s more to correct restaurant dining etiquette nowadays than knowing the difference between your soup spoon and your tea spoon. The new Zagat’s 2011 Restaurant Survey included questions about “techies at the table” in New York City restaurants. The results:
· While 81% of those feel it’s acceptable to take pictures of their food, 64% say it’s “rude and inappropriate” to text, e-mail, tweet or talk on a mobile phone while at a restaurant.
· 37% typically make their dinner reservations online, up from 24% just two years ago.
· 20% report having downloaded restaurant-related apps.
