With a modern layout and luscious photographs, these city-specific guides unearth distinctive, locally owned and operated eating and shopping destinations. Designed for both locals and tourists, these indispensable tools feature listings to more than 90 spectacularly original businesses that encapsulate the core character of each given city. Ideally sized for backpacks or purses, each guide also features easy-to-read maps and hotel suggestions.
Useful to know a good collection of locally owned businesses. The writing was snooty at times, and once in a while a review revealed almost nothing about a shop/restaurant, but otherwise a worthwhile read or browse-through. Borrowed this book from library, which was a good bet because the binding is poorly constructed. I'm just hoping the book doesn't fall apart before I get it back!
