The websites I chose were peterallen.com and Six Penn Kitchen. Starting with Peter Allen, the site was very easy to navigate and was nicely organized. In the book they talk about having broad headings that trickle down into more specific categories which is what Peter Allen does. Their headings include: Menu, Drinks, Reservations, Directions, and Contact Us. When you hover over Menu, it has a drop down that breaks the categories down into Lunch, Dinner, Dessert and Late Night. Which ever you click on takes you to that specific menu. But when looking at Six Penn Kitchen, instead of a drop down menu, when you click “Menu” it takes you to a menu where you can then narrow it down with a heading bar at the top. Both sights have great navigation located at the top of their sites, the headings are clear as to what their topic is about and when you hover over them, they make it clear what you are hovering over (changing color or underlining). They both have a place to reserve a table, with Peter Allen it is a separate tab, but with Six Penn Kitchen it is a link that sits above the navigation bar. Both sites have a nice navigation flow to them that leads you from one page to another. But looking at the bigger picture I think that Six Penn Kitchen has the better navigation because you have to click on the heading itself to find the smaller categories. I feel like that makes it easier to find things because you are already in the broad heading.
