I am a frequent visitor to the Washington, DC area. I've been through a lot of guides and this is the best. First, it has maps of each neighborhood in the front, which is extremely useful. The layout of the book is as follows: there are eight neighborhoods. There are six chapters: Sights, Restaurants, nightlife, shops, arts and leisure, and hotels. In the chapters it lists each location under its neighborhood name. It is very easy to look up something. For example if you want to look up a restaurant you can look on the maps in the front, or in the restaurant chapter. The book describes everything great, and has a lot of color photos. In the back it also has a subway map. The only negative thing is that it doesn't have info on any thing outside of DC like in Northern Virginia, or Maryland, so if you're planning on visiting those places this may not be the best book for you. I really love the book and the size is perfect to hold or put in a pocket or bag. For more info visit [...]

I wanted a guide that would really guide and this is it. Neighborhood maps, sights, and just enough description to be helpful not tedious. I thought the shopping suggestions were unique and the maps that fold-out saved me from looking like a lost tourist.
