Title: Excellent Book for Foodies
Review: This is an excellent book if you are into food and living in or nearby NYC or planning to visit NYC. The show Billions mentions many restaurants in each episode and the book captures them brilliantly, providing great information on each. Although most restaurants covered are in NYC, there are some others in nearby states and even on the other coast. The price range of the restaurants is all over the spectrum from $ to $$$$, not just pricey Michelin starred restaurants but any joint really worth to try. I bought the hardcover version which is great with glossy high quality pages and great photos. I live in California and looking forward to my next trip to New York and East Coast thanks to this book!

Title: a great collection of restaurants
Review: The creators of the show did a really great job in sampling the NYC restaurants. NYC has thousands of resturants, the bunch in this book is a carefully picked list, or should I say curated, including hole-in-the-wall and Michelin star restaurants and even food trucks. On top of that, this book places each restauntant within the tv show Billions, which is a lot of fun to follow through the book, and within the social and historical scenes of NYC. I guess this book is for foodies who enjoy a delicious $8 wrap on the street as much as a good $100 steak at a fancy restaurant, and especially for those who do not want to spend time searching on yelp or tripadvisor, and for those who would like to dine within a context.

Title: Fabulous!
Review: Do you love âBillionsâ? Then this book is for you. Do you live in or plan to visit NYC? Then you need this restaurant guide. Do you love food? Then this is a must have. Whether itâs ultra expensive or dirt cheap, the best food of NYC has been featured in Showtimeâs Billions, and Bahar has done a magnificent job of finding them, giving the details for them, and even what episode and scene they were featured in. I plan on trying to hit as many as possible!

Title: A Very Unique NYC Dining Guide
Review: A New York City eating and drinking guide from a professor of political science teaching game theory? Well, thatâs exactly what makes this book unique. Most of the plotlines of the TV show Billions are centered around intelligent characters trying to outgame each other in one of the best food scenes around the world: New York City. The show provides an ideal platform for foodies to explore where upper echelons of finance and city hall wine, dine or just gobble up.While the authorâs academic credentials add a refined touch, her love of NYC and Billions make this dining guide fun to read.

Title: An extraordinary guide for NYC restaurants as well as the witty dialogues of "Billions"
Review: This book reviews the vast number of restaurants appearing in the show "Billions", while pointing out the significance of that place in the scene or the episode. You learn not only the menu, atmosphere, signature dish of each restaurant but also its history. If you are a fan of "Billions", I am sure you will additionally enjoy going over those metaphorical dialogues once again, probably even catch cues that you missed while watching.
