C. A. Heldt "caddy chris"

great review of many cities

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

Book provides a quick hightlights of each city and can be used to plan your trip, esp if you have only a short visit
Photos are really good and writing is very coincise - book to keep and use over and over. I have traveled extensively and this book give you a great summary if you only have a few days. Only US cities that are original and uniue are: New York, San Fran, Las vegas and New Oreleans, all others look very much alike with same kinds of houses and stores.
New York is big , moves so fast and NEW York natives are the best, assuming you can understand their accent. Some of the most friendly people are the New Yorkers - just don't say you are a New Jersey Giants fan !
You will hear at least 10 diff launguages spoken on the street.
San Fran is probably the most pretty city in America. So many hills, great food and
the gays know how to party too.
New Oreleans is old , historic , lots of unique food and people are the salt of the earth.
Vegas is just a crazy fun party town and nothing in USA compares to it.
Now, food and shows rule vs the mob in the old days. Lose at the tables - go drown your sorrows and have a 3.99 steak dinner or even better, go the Bellgio for the buffet and bring a bigger set of clothes !

Excellent resource and worth the money

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bought for my first anniversary paper gift. When I first received it, I looked up my city which had all the stuff I recommend to other people, even down to restaurant recommendations. Several other cities I know all had excellent recommendations. That's how we knew to trust what this book had to say for places we've never been. We've used this book several times to help plan our trips and we are always very pleased. A lot of these in recommendations are on the NYT website, but the book is nice to have and looks beautiful on a shelf. Highly recommend this book.

36 hours of a trip for someone else besides you

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a review from the standpoint of a travel guide enthusiast. If you love the NYT 36 hours then go ahead and get it but if your looking for an actual travel guide this review is for you. The title should read: "Young Hipsters Guide To Alcoholism And Pedantry." This book is a good guideline for an itinerary but nothing more. I got it for its coffee table flair really. Anyone who actually follows these itineraries must be dead for the amount of sugar, alcohol and comfort food it has you consume at the expense of seeing real sites. It's not a travel guide at all. It is exactly what it said: the NYT's list of what it's editors and writers would do on their weekends off down to the hour. So you see the type of crowd it draws and you get the sense that the only thing it recommends is itineraries for the overly touristy type or people obsessed with looking cool and fashionable rather than experiencing a city. I love DK eyewitness guides over this but the book looks great and enticing on a table or shelf and is a great read for a tipsy guest who needs some perusing time before he plans his next social move at your house. Otherwise, as a personal read to spark the traveling bug in us all, it falls flat many times making the itineraries sound boring with poor choices of photos that make you glad you have used up all your vacation days already or happy your not traveling to said place. You find this out by checking the itinerary for your own city to find how it sounds like the worst way to spend 36 hours in "_____ City." Some itineraries are great but then again, you didn't buy this book for just some itineraries; you were hoping it would have a great aid in making a short weekend entertaining at all the locations in the US instead of thinking that the best weekend that a location has to offer is candy stores, cocktails and overhyped restaurants. 2 stars for table flair, 1 star for substance and an aid in traveling.

Whimsical illustrations, great quick travel recommendations like in the 36 hrs column

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

I love reading this column in the Times. While realistically, you may forget to consult the book before a big trip - or some of the recs may get out of date - I still love cozying up on the couch and reading and dreaming about cities I want to visit. I think it's one of those great coffee table books (i love the whimsical illustrations too) to have around to peruse every once in a while :) And, if you remember to consult it before travel, the recommendations are usually very good.

Well-Written, doesn't offer only 'tourist traps'

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

As the title says, this isn't like Fodors, where it seems like the only things recommended are tourist traps.

I'm originally from Kansas City, and I looked it up. Turns out, it actually recommends restaurants that are lesser known, and stuff to see/do that I would recommend to others.

I did the same for Baltimore - where I now live, and the recommendations are pretty much about as good.

So, at least from looking up cities I know well, this book seems to pick out cool stuff to see and do, rather than the worn out tourist destinations. Sure, there are some of the touristy things included, but it isn't only that, which is what I'd expect from a Fodors or other travel books.

Makes me feel adventurous!

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

So this book has sort of a 90s encyclopedia feel to it. The cover is like a cloth sort of material and a mix between a hard and soft cover. The few places that I've been to (basically Toronto, New York and Philadelphia) are slightly disappointing. The events listed arent all that fabulous, BUT I excuse it because there are a lot of things to do in those cities so it will feel like a hit or miss to anyone. I had fun looking through the book because it made me feel adventurous and totally ready to travel again! I especially like the recommendations for the seaside towns (Boston, Providence, Martha's Vineyard) and the book has persuaded me to visit there one day! I'm only about 1/3 through the book (yes I'm reading each one meticulously) and I dont regret this purchase at all.

I bought this book for my partner who works in America a lot, and it this book was great for when he had a spare day or two over there. It's really great to flick through every now and again too, because the illustrations are lovely.
