The east has for centuries been the battleground of cultural, political and social forces in the USA. See the greatest sights from the northern tip of the Eastern Sea Board at Acadia National Park, down to the southern soul of New Orleans; feel time stand still at Fallingwater, the modernist brainchild of Frank Lloyd Wright; walk the battlefields of the American Civil War at Gettysburg; drive the Appalachian Wilderness from bluegrass country to Skyline Drive; feel the thunder of Niagara Falls; head to New York for a salt beef sandwich at Katz?s Delicatessen, then carry on up to Vermont for the golden leaves of autumn and the first snows of winter.
Use with the Michelin North America Road Atlas for scenic drives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michelins are the best guide books, January 22, 2008

I have been using green (and often red) Michelin guides for almost 50 years. For any area in the world they cover, they are clearly the best guide books available, with some caveats: one must have a good general education, and one must be able to read a very condensed map--skills many young Americans sadly lack. With those skills, however, as usual this new edition of the USA book is superb. Unlike almost all other travel books, Michelin offers clear value judgments, rankings, of sights. I have found over the years that I almost always agree with Michelin opinions. Because I like the series so much, and this book is very good, I give it 5 stars. Sadly, however, I don't think these books are as good as in past years. They should have more ½ page city maps, and there is no reason in the Green Guides to list hotels and restaurants. I suspect fewer maps and more hotels/restaurants are a sop to modern competitive requirements. For the most part, hotels and restaurants suggested are only the very most expensive--perhaps for those European travelers who have strong Euros to spend! Not much use to ordinary people! Another problem with Michelin Guides is that they are relatively expensive and if one travels widely, the collection of necessary guides (both Green and Red) becomes very large indeed. All that said, as an American I find this and the companion edition (Michelin USA West) wonderful reviews of the entire USA. If one has the time to travel widely in the USA, there is no better place to start vacation planning.

3.0 out of 5 stars USA East Covers A Wide Area, April 22, 2010

I found that USA East covers a wide area, it almost could be called USA East - Mid-West. I felt that it covered too large of an area to give proper justice to the many sights to be seen.

... if you get Michelin green guides. We use them for a long time when we travel and we bought this one before our trip to Florida. You can decide easily what is worth to see and it has a lot of practical information.
