My husband bought me this guide as a gift for my first trip to New York. I must say that I could not have gotten along without it. Even though my traveling companion had been to Manhattan several times - she even lived there for a period - we were constantly consulting the manual. In particular, the subway map and the map of Central Park were very helpful. As an infrequent traveler, I also found it useful to have the expected gratuities spelled out of me.

I will continue to use the guide to help me sort and identify the many photographs I've taken during my trip.

This is a very valuable tool and the best of the many guidebooks I've come across.

.Michelin Red Guide 2008 San Francisco Bay Area & Wine Country (Michelin Guide San Francisco, Bay Area & Wine Country)

Found this little and handy book at the local Santa Cruz library. Considering that it was very recent print (2008 edition), solid book-binding and very handy and practical (almost a pocket-book) I decided to give it a try. I have lived in the Monterey Bay and San Jose/Silicon Valley areas for the last 10 years but am not very familiar with "the City" (San Francisco). This guide focuses on restaurants and good eating (almost 300 pages) and leaves 60 pages for hotels and places to stay.

I have not had the chance or extravagant budget to try too many of the more exquisite restaurants listed in this guide. The descriptions of location, ambiance, and menu looks accurate and very helpful. For wider selection, I would supplement this ... Read More:

.Michelin Road Atlas 2008: USA, Canada, Mexico
City Travel Guides > Books > North America

My wife and I went on a long road trip - I have a navigation system in the car but it's nice to have a paper map handy so you can easily see what's a few hundred miles ahead.
My only complaint with this atlas, and any paper atlas for that matter, is going from page 96 to 52 to 46 to whatever; that's a lot of page turning and you'd better have someone in the passenger seat or you'll have to pull over to the side of the road.
But, overall this one is nicely laid out with more detailed maps of the larger cities.

The Michelin Red Guide is the most respected Restaurant Guide in the world. There have been chefs that have committed suicide when they lost a star. They have exacting standards or service and understand haute cuisine better than any one else in the world. And this is precisely why they are almost totally irrelevant to Restaurants in New York City. They do not understand that American standards of service are different, not worse, not lower, just different. Nor can they understand cuisines that do not fit into their narrow concepts of haute cuisine. So chefs like Mario Batali and Yasuda-sama will never do as well as they should.

You are better off with the Zagat's guide.

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, ... Read More:

.Los Angeles 2008: A Selection of Restaurants & Hotels (Michelin Red Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
from: Michelin Travel Publications

I have bought the guides for SF, NY, Vegas, and LA. While the ones for most of the cities are very good, I think the LA one disappoints. I know that LA has many more restaurants that could have made the guide. Perhaps not starred, but better than many of the non-starred selections in the guide. I realize that a big portion of the problem is that the scale of LA makes it hard to cover, but some effort should have been made to be more comprehensive prior to publication.

.Michelin Las Vegas 2008 (Michelin Guide Las Vegas)

This Michelin guide to Las Vegas is the worst guide of any city I have ever bought. I have a complete collection of more than 50 Michelin guides, mostly of european countries and cities and they are great, very detailed with precise indications and a through research.

This guide is nothing like those. It is very thin, for every hotel there's just a little paragraph and a photo, same thing for restaurants. This is a complete waste of money.

How can you describe all the amenities of monster hotels like the MGM Grand, the Bellagio or the venetian in 10 lines? They don't even compare room amenities or features of each hotel.

Same thing goes for the restaurants, the european guides tell you which are the best entrees and specialities ... Read More:
