Must have for visiting DC
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I bought this book to facilitate my recent family trip to DC. While I went to school in DC, it has been a few years since I have visited. I wanted something to bring me current post 9/11. This book is not as encompassing as others on the market but, it gets the job done. It is concise and to the point. Many main and "off the beaten path" attractions are identified. Although in the dining section, my favorite Georgetown Italian resturant was overlooked. I can forgive that. The book offers great recommendations on places to eat, stay and visit. If you are going to DC buy this book to carry with you. It will easily fit into a pocket for ease of use.
a Must-Have when visiting DC
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I am visit the DC area frequently, but I rarely take the time to explore the tourist sights. This book really gave me some great insights on the sights and helped me prioritize what I wanted to see. The restaurant & hotel suggestions were outstanding, I was not once disappointed. The 'musts for kids' section was very useful in helping me plan not-so-boring things for my children to do. Michelin points out activities & attractions for kids that really peaked their interest (and mine too!!)
