Access guides are different

I have used access guides for many cities besides New Orleans. I have found them valuable in New York City, Washington D.C., and even in my home city of Philadelphia. They are unique. Going by street or by area they create a new type of guide which can be very valuable when walking or going though a particularly area. They augment, not replace the traditional guide

The best single guidebook you'll find

Richard Saul Wurman produces the single best guidebook for about two dozen cities worldwide. The New Orleans guide is no exception. The guide breaks the city into neighborhoods, each with its own locater map, and the entries are color coded to help you find what you're looking for; restaurants, shopping, architecture/siteseeing, hotels. Lots of local "favorites" and restaurant reviews that have never failed me. Through the New Orleans guide I discovered Jana's B & B for a trip when a big conference was in town and all the hotel rooms were booked.Wurman is an acclaimed architect and graphic designer and those disciplines have guided the construction of this series. When you only want to take one guide book with you, Access is the one.

The Best of New Orleans.

My son went to college in New Orleans so I have visited this wonderful city for varying lengths of times. I own several New Orlean's guidebooks, but this is my absolute favorite. I like the format--restaurants,hotels,sights and shopping all in different colors. We tried many of the places recommended in the "Bests" sections and enjoyed each and everyone of them! There was not one thing in this book that steered us wrong, which I can not say about any other book that I have used. If you want to see the New Orleans that the residents enjoy, then this is the book for you. (I hope they update it as restaurants are always changing and this is a wonderful city to enjoy myriad types of cuisine.)
