Our focus is on eating and carousing (with a few diversions). The 38 entries take in po' boy sandwiches, sazeracs, Creole food and a bar that rotates a full 360 degrees every 15 minutes. As we say, good times!

Small and tightly focused. Herb Lesters guides are concise city tours in a handy fold-out format that slips neatly into an intrepid travellers pocket.
Easy escapes from the big city using only public transport. Whether you're in need of a country ramble or a last-minute day trip to the seaside, temporarily leaving the Big Smoke has never been easier.
This rough and ready port has a softer side too. There are wonderful parks, coffee shops (and even a coffee museum). It has specialist record stores, a miniature city and an Art Deco tunnel that runs beneath the Elbe. Our guide has all you need for a few days in this historic town - where to eat, drink, shop and what to see. Small and tightly focused, our guides are concise city tours in a handy fold-out format that slips neatly into an intrepid traveler's pocket. Our aim is to introduce readers to new places as well as re-evaluating familiar ones, and we are as keen to find a new way to see the Louvre as we are to discover an untouched 1950s café. Informed by on-the-ground research, our one-sheet guides and maps uncover what makes a city special. They are written and researched in-house, and an illustrator who has been specially chosen for the subject designs each one. Whether it's an excursion into the greener areas of London (more numerous than you might think), Paris's beatnik bookshops, the otherworldly landscape just outside Reykjavik, or the watering holes of Brooklyn, we highlight what makes a place distinctive with our specialist knowledge and illustrations with vintage charm. In A6 format, the guides fit easily into a pocket and then expand out to A3 or A2 to display the attractions of each city. Each fine-quality sheet is litho-printed in England on 100% recycled stock.
