Jeffrey Epstein Dined With Tim Zagat at New York’s Fanciest Restaurants

For more than a decade, Jeffrey Epstein’s status as a Level 3 sex offender didn’t preclude him from wining and dining an array of billionaires, heads of state, princes and princesses, entrepreneurs, and celebrities at his glitzy Manhattan townhouse and mansions around the world.

After his prison stint in Florida, Epstein also courted another kind of royalty: Tim and Nina Zagat, the powerhouse New York couple behind the eponymous restaurant-ratings guidebook.

The creators of the iconic burgundy paperback attended at least one 2014 dinner planned by the well-connected sex-trafficker—an event that apparently included around a dozen elite guests, according to emails obtained through a public records request.
