1.Avant Guide New York City: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant Guide New York City) by: Andre Stenson, Cloe Anderson, Patricia Stewart May 30, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.67
I Just returned from 1 week business/pleasure visit to New York and I found this guide full of good recommendations and descriptions were accurate. Better than Lonely Planet or Time Out's, which I also bought. Quite a useful guide with plentiful restaurant, watering hole and sight-seeing suggestions. It's replete with valuable information about attractions, hotels, eateries, shops, spas, etc. Beyond this, however, the layout is terrific, and the book is remarkably easy to use as a result. The maps, in particular, are helpful.I'd definintely purchase an Avant Guide guidebook again. I am happy to say that this book was by far the best single-city guide I used.

2.Avant-Guide Prague: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant Guides) from: Empire Press November 30, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.94
This book is dead on. We were in Prague for four days, and this book was an indispensible tool. The bar/club descriptions were honest, straight-forward and written as if by a friend who had been living there for six years. Beyond merely naming a bar, giving an address and some surface description, they go in depth, including what nights to visit which place. The restaurant descriptions were fantastic, and lead us to some of the best (and best priced) meals we had on the trip. The mapping system makes navigation remarkably easy. Get this book, go to Prague, and rest assured you will have a good time.

3.Avant Guide New Orleans: Insiders' Guide To Progressive Culture (Avant Guides) from: Empire Press August 18, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.89
I love Avant Guide for their supercool coverage of restaurants, hotels, bars and sights. This edition doesn't dissappoint because, even after the floods Avant Guide proves that New Orleans remains one of the best cities in the world. If you're looking for a resource that tells it like it is, about where to go and what to do to have a truly unique experience, then this is your guide. I also often travel with Lonely Planet, but it didn't help me at all here.

4.Avant-Guide Chicago: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant-Guide Chicago: Insiders' Guide for Urban Adventurers) from: Empire Press Media March 30, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.02
This is the second Avant Guide book that I have purchased and I plan to purchase more. In both instances I have found the content to be very useful in helping me plan and guide my visits to new cities. The choice of listings in this book is excellent, varied between well-known and not-as-well-known shops, restaurants, hotels and more. The short writeups of the neighborhoods contain all the useful bits, and the specific location information is well written and generally provides a enough insight that you come away with the impression of knowing just enough to be dangerous (or make conversation, or ask questions.) This is a good thing. The featured restaurants, stores, and hotels were all style-centric and wonderful to visit. Included are great photographs. It's hard to go wrong with this choice.

5.Avant-Guide San Francisco: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant Guides) from: Empire Press December 30, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.80
I adore exclusive dining, which hardly appears in the regular guides. I have visited several restaurants reviewed by the Avantguide and I had a blast.

6.Avant-Guide Las Vegas: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant Guides) from: Empire Press September 30, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.10
I bought this book after using and fully enjoying the Avant-Guide to Paris. I knew nothing about Vegas before a recent trip and Avant-Guide made sure I was well prepared. It had excellent information on cool and hip places as well as "classic Vegas" and must-see destinations. It covers it from the perspective of singles or couples. This is not a family vacation book or a budget travel book. It is fun to read and easy to navigate. Because of this I also bought the New York book which is equally enjoyable.

7.Avant-Guide Toronto: Insiders' Guide for Urban Adventurers (Avant-Guide Series) from: Empire Press 2002-07
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.24
Well done guide. It is organized, thoughtful and balances the standard information of travel guides with the more local places you would otherwise found only by a chance. Time is precious, so it is useful to know you can leave the center without being lost and dependent on locals.

8.Avant-guide Paris (Avant Guides) by: Daniel Levine July 28, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
I have made numerous trips to Paris, armed with several guidebooks, including a Frommers, a Lonely Planet and an Eyewitness, and this is by far my favorite. It's fun to browse through and it makes it easy to find something you want to run out and see. It's a relief to find a guide that's not trying to be an exhaustive list of every possible restaurant, museum or hotel. It has just the right amount of practical info to get you where you want to be and ready for the reality of it when you get there. Until I used this guidebook I didn't realize that guidebooks are often jammed with too much (boring) information. The graphics and photos are terrific -none of those grainy 80's pictures of people eating croissants under the Eiffel tower.
