Awesome guide. Not for the weak at heart traveler who likes the pictures and recommendation's from Frommer's or Fodor's. Don't get me wrong, F & F are great travel books, but the NFT guides get down to the nitty gritty of the city with up-to-date and easy to read street maps of the arts and entertainment, general, but essential information, parks & places to sports, colleges and universities. Just a awesome and well-thought travel guide/series.

While I didn't read the 2011 version, I did read the 2009 edition. I now have a long, long list of places, bars, restaurants, shops, etc in Chicago that I need to visit.

Perfect for any Chicagoan that likes visiting new places rather than the same ones.

if you move to a new city, definitely check out the NFT guide. this book will always be on my "currently reading" shelf because it is like my bible. the best maps are found here.

Too many maps and not enough content. Interesting choices, but lacking in overall scope.
Also, the font is so tiny that it makes reading daunting.
Who is this for?
