About the author

Le Guide Vert est un livre faisant partie d'une collection de guides touristiques, fondée en 1926 par Michelin, qui met l'accent sur la découverte du patrimoine naturel et culturel des régions.

Il est complémentaire aux cartes Michelin ou de l'IGN, pour renseigner les touristes souhaitant voyager et découvrir une région, plusieurs villes ou un pays, en indiquant les principaux endroits caractéristiques intéressants à visiter, et circuits à effectuer, s'adjoignant elles-mêmes depuis quelques années au GPS.

Il peut aussi s'associer au guide rouge gastronomique et hôtelier Michelin.

[John Behle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Here is a time honored guidebook that I look for every year. For my spring trip to Gotham, I read through this florid livre rouge as a pleasure, magazine style, even snacking on the famed starred restaurants that I might try one day. FYI--the starred system Michelin employs dates from 1926.

Where else could I find my favorite Mid Manhattan French bistro described as "Take in the creaky wood floors and parchment-colored walls hung with French-themed jigsaw puzzles. Then indulge in chilled leeks dressed with the famous house vinaigrette..."

See you there at Chez Napoléon, 365 West 50th Street.

I even ask the staff to autograph my book.

I just bought this before my trip to NYC last weekend. I found it extremely up-to-date and the restaurant reviews were right on target. I also love that this guide (and the DK guides) show pictures of the restaurants....something you don't get with Zagat for instance.

I like the no nonsense reviews and insight of Michelin. If the in-laws are coming to New York City for a visit and I want to impress them, I look here. Knowing which chefs obtain a Michelin star always impresses visitors.

A little too upscale for my budget ...
