It's a 1200 pages book, but I've just read some of the first 100 pages, I'll finish reading it if ever I make it to America cuz the rest of the book contains only huge amounts of numbers of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, zoos , associations and stuff we don't even have in Algeria ! :3
Yeah I can see myself using what I've learnt of it once there , I'd be having a glass of Bloody Mary, a piece of Angel's Food Cake, and I'd be hailing : Bottoooms up ! :3 ok , I'm shutting up .

[Jennifer Tse · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great book on different places within the USA that are worthy of travel. I learned a lot about different regions and how distinctive each part of America is even though it's the same country. Great book to think of where to travel in the US if you don't have a destination in mind yet.

Perfect for a x-county trip. Not tons of detail on each location, but good regional overviews and impressive considering it tackles the whole country.
