5.0 out of 5 stars I love Jodi's Shortcuts, August 20, 2002

This review is from: Jodi's Shortcuts: The Hamptons, 2002 (Paperback)

Jodi's Shortcuts is an excellent guidebook to the Hamptons. It has great reviews of all of the latest restaurants (including new ones that do not appear in other guidebooks), it has a great calendar of events that I could not find anywhere else, and it is chock full of every other service and listing you could ever want, plus lots of secrets, backroad maps, etc.I keep one in the car and one by the phone in the house at all times - it's the perfect resource! It's also got great tips from many famous people - their favorite restaurants and things to do. I loved it, and would highly recommend it to anyone! I hope they do guidebooks to other areas in the future!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo, Jodi!, October 29, 2003

This review is from: Jodi's Shortcuts 2003: The Hamptons (Paperback)

Bravo, Jodi! You've done it again! I can't tell you how much we love your books! They get better and better every year! They have become our bibles of the Hamptons - we keep one in each of our cars, a few in the house by each and every phone, and bring them as gifts wherever we go. Everybody loves them! Thank you for adding all of the new information that you did this year - it was so valuable!! Next year, though, try to print more if you can! We went to buy more for gifts late in the Summer and everywhere we went they said they had completely sold out! All of our friends (many from out of town) and I are anxiously awaiting the new edition! Congratulations on making the guidebook none of us can live without!

3.0 out of 5 stars Short on short cuts, August 5, 2004

This review is from: Jodi's Shortcuts 2003: The Hamptons (Paperback)

Just remember that this is the 2003 edition and while helpful, I have found things that are outdated now. I went to look for two resturants, both of which were closed. I would have greatly appreciated more narrative with the listings, like a Zagats-style rating and description. However, it provides a nice start. If you know nothing about the Hamptons, you may want to supplement with another book. The children's version, Annabel's Shortcuts, is merely taken from the kid's section of this Shortcuts, so don't purchase both.
