Zagat, GSK launch outdoor guide for allergy sufferers

ATLANTA A special-edition Zagat Survey guide launched earlier this week offers people with either seasonal or year-round allergies an insider's view of some exciting outdoor destinations in 20 U.S. cities—and tips on how to manage their allergy symptoms so they can enjoy being outside.

The free guide, pieced together by Zagat and GlaxoSmithKline, and available at www.outandaboutwithallergies.com, features reviews of popular and off-the-beaten-path outdoor destinations and restaurants with outdoor dining and rooftop bars, as well as secluded gardens and walking paths in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Orlando/Tampa, Philadelphia, Phoenix/Scottsdale, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington.

Actor and allergy sufferer James Denton of “Desperate Housewives” is helping introduce the guide in order to bring attention to seasonal allergies and to encourage other allergy sufferers to manage their symptoms so that they can better enjoy outdoor experiences.
