USA East Michelin Green Guide

USA East in the Green Guide series from Michelin; detailed guides exploring the major sights and attractions of a range of cities, regions and countries. Drawing on a long publishing history, Michelin guides are renowned for their individual ‘star rating’, ranking restaurants, sights and attractions. Listings in each guide are organised alphabetically, allowing readers to access information quickly as well as being designed for practical use on the road. With an emphasis on cultural activities and history, each sight is graded and has extensive background information. Practical visitor information is clearly highlighted with symbols. Predominantly recognised for their extensive coverage of French regions (shown on our website in a separate series), the Green Guides also cover
international destinations. An extensive introductory section on planning your trip provides information on when and where to go, useful pre-trip information, getting there, where to stay and eat and what to do and see. There are also individual sections on Nature, History and Art ad Culture and a selection of driving tours of the area. Fold-out maps at the front and back of the book give an overview of the area covered by the guide.The structure of each guide varies depending on the type of destination. National and regional guides cover regions alphabetically, each with their own accommodation, sights and food and drink listings, while City guides cover sights alphabetically with one city-wide section for listings. Accommodation and food & drink listings are both concise and
comprehensive, aiming to cater for all budgets and tastes. Both sights and listings often include information specific to travelling with kids. Each of the places covered in the guide is listed alphabetically and three Michelin star ratings - highly recommended, recommended and interesting, which have been used for more than 100 years - help readers identify places of interest, restaurants and notable local attractions. Individual listings include principal sights for each city or town, local walking and driving tours in addition to tips on local excursions. There is also an ‘address book’ information box in each section including recommendations for the best restaurants and accommodation in the area, as well as any relevant leisure activities. A series of overview regional and
city plans also helps navigation and orientation for each region.
