[Nan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Small, colorful guide of things to see, do, eat, and buy. The idea is to offer insider tips from creative types, which means that many of these choices may no longer be hip or in business by the time you read it. Good to peruse, but there are more helpful resources available. Actual rating: 2.5

[Ariel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Small and creative, with some offbeat suggestions. Put together the kind of itinerary I wouldn't have from yelp, the quotes from the creative 60 themselves aren't always the most helpful, and some require a bigger budget than most creative people I know can afford. Love that the book cover unfolds into an art map of the city!
