Only businesses and institutions that impart Basque culture are listed. Directions to locations are given, in addition to contact information, some photos, and recipes.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's the latest book on the Basque culture and its presence in various U.S. cities... It could include a list of restaurants, whether or not there are clubs, etc. Not a recommended read for everyone, just those that are interested in what's going on out there in the Basque-American society. Or it could help you eat your way through Basque America, which I like!

This is a very comprehensive list of Basque places of interest, mostly of the American West. Some of the information is probably outdated, as this was published in the late 90's, but the historical information of each place is accurate, and very interesting!
