A meeting place for writers, artists, models, and the stars of stage, screen, and corporate boardrooms, a luxurious restaurant whose fabulous concoctions and timeless decor have often been imitated but never matched, Harry's Bar in Venice has remained one of the world's most renowned watering holes for more than sixty years. Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles, Sinclair Lewis, and other luminaries have tasted its famous cocktails and enjoyed the bar's original inventions, such as the carpaccio" appetizer and the now-ubiquitous bellini. Filled with engaging wit and lighthearted charm, Arrigo Cipriani's history of Harry's Bar is a delight to read-and the next best thing to a table at Harry's Bar itself.

This guide, a goldmine for residents and visitors alike, tells you all about the best amusement parks, historic sites, cultural attractions, beaches, boardwalks, parks, forests, and much more - plus sections on restaurants, hotels and shopping. We highlight the "best bets" - places where you might like to go and spend a lazy day, or an afternoon away from home, along with listings for restaurants and accommodations. All of the hotels and restaurants are listed here. Is there anyone who hasn't been to, or at least heard of, the Jersey Shore? Famous as the birthplace of the boardwalk, cherished as a relaxing getaway for young and old alike, and celebrated for its beautiful beaches, salt-tinged ocean breezes, and gorgeous vistas, the Jersey Shore is a place where memories are made and dreams are born (and sometimes even come true). Since it is such a vacationer's paradise, the Atlantic coast has the most to do. We start with the northernmost Shore county, Monmouth, and work straight down the coast to Cape May. Although these counties revolve around the ocean and summertime, look closer; they have a lot more to offer than just the beach and boardwalk. Sure, the beaches are 127 miles of pure enjoyment, but there are flea markets, historic sites, and some unusual attractions, such as a zoo for sick and injured animals. So if you don't swim, dislike seagulls, and have a natural aversion to sand, fear not. You just have to look around, and you'll discover choices galore at the Jersey Shore.

Best of Chicago is the definitive guide to America's third-largest city, created each year, for nineteen years running, by Chicago's only locally owned and operated alternative weekly, Newcity. Unlike other city guides that trot out the same-old same-old tourist traps, Best of Chicago is equally a resource for visitors, newcomers and lifelong Chicagoans. Readers will still learn the basics like who has the best hotdog, but so too, the best place to nonchalantly check out the opposite sex. Sure, Best of Chicago will tell readers who has the best holiday-themed theatrical production. But it also has the best hipster-free bar in Wicker Park. The best Middle Eastern restaurant, the best Montreal-style poutine in Chicago, the best place to drink in the forest preserves, the best unrecognized landmark to Chicago's gay community, the best place to meet strangers over breakfast, and so on, through more than 500 entries. Entries are organized in five broad categories, including City Life, Culture & Nightlight, Food & Drink, Goods & Services, and Sports & Recreation. And not only will readers discover places to go in Chicago, but they'll learn about the city's history while enjoying a laugh or two throughout.

It's easy to find a great meal in London, and-with the exchange rate and soaring prices-easier yet to find a meal that is ruinously expensive. But what fun is that? Enter Elaine Louie, a New York Times staffer who writes on food, design, and style. What better person to suss out the spots where the most stylish of Londoners dine while staying solvent? Tracking down leads from architects, curators, designers, and other sources with discriminating taste and exacting palates, Louie profiles fifty venues that would be considered great finds at any price and where a meal (not counting tip and beverage) can be enjoyed for less than $25. The restaurants range across ethnicities, and include a substantial number of traditional British and Continental restaurants. They deliver on decor (cool, charming, and/or beautiful) and the food (not necessarily three-course meals, but sometimes more modern, light dining) is always memorable. Follow the leads of fashionable epicures to: Baker & Spice, a chic spot favored by the impeccably dressed "yummy mummies," young mothers who savor the best quiches in London and golden-crusted meat pies filled with baby veggies fresh from the British countryside the "darling and simple café" atop four floors of fashion in the hip Dover Street Market, centrally located near Bond Street Crazie Homies in hip Westbourne Grove, where the food is inspired by street vendors and taquerias found throughout Mexico and is freshly made from authentic recipes-try the potent yet refreshingly smoky margaritas Jin Kichi, the tiny Hampsted eatery, bedecked with red paper lanterns, where the delectable fare means the place is usually filled with Japanese expats The venues are located in city-central locations and hip neighborhoods and a few of the best are even tucked away in museums and department stores, making this a highly practical guide for travelers who need to plan their time efficiently. In addition to the fifty restaurants with full profiles, the author has included short descriptions of another two dozen places worth visiting.

This updated compendium of facts, observations, discoveries, reviews, serendipities, humor, experiences, and more is not only for the road traveler, but the armchair traveler as well. Unlike typical guides, which read more like phone directories, Romancing the Roads is a shared diary of discoveries along America's highways and byways. Join Gerry on a tour of hotels, B & B's, restaurants, national parks, antique stores, consignment shops, boutiques, and little-known places that make America such a great place for road-tripping. Unless otherwise noted, the author has visited every place mentioned, from the ostrich farm along Interstate 10 in Arizona to the Biltmore hotel in Los Angeles. Even if you never get in the car and discover such wonders for yourself, you will enjoy this vicarious journey to places both sublime and ordinary as the author makes her way from Washington to California and east to the Mississippi River.
