Weekends on the road: The ultimate travel guide to the USA and Canada To travel in North America is to face a delicious quandary: over these vast spaces with so many riches, from glittering cities to eccentric small towns and heart-stoppingly beautiful mountains and plains, how to experience as much as possible in limited time? One answer is the quick hit, a jam-packed adventure that delivers a full sense of a single place’s opportunities and personalities over a well-plotted two-night stay.

The New York Times has been offering up dream weekends with practical itineraries in its popular weekly "36 Hours" column since 2002. The many expert contributors, experienced travelers, and accomplished writers have brought careful research, insider’s knowledge, and a sense of fun to hundreds of cities and destinations, always with an eye to getting the most out of a short trip. Want to read what Sam Sifton suggests in his beloved borough of Brooklyn, or David Carr in Minneapolis, Mark Bittman in Death Valley, or Ariel Kaminer in lower Manhattan? Here is where to do it, with full-color photographs to entice you and handy maps to guide you.

In this book, the Times and TASCHEN bring together updated and new versions of "36 Hours" columns for 150 U.S. and Canadian locations, from the great urban centers on everyone’s travel list to surprising locales with undiscovered character and charm. The paths lead to fashionable clubs in Manhattan, blues joints in the Mississippi Delta, architectural treasures tucked in the Pennsylvania hills, the French America of Quebec, the seaside cliffs and Hollywood cool of California, and well beyond. For a taste of adventure and a veritable journey throughout the continent, explore 36 Hours in America.

5.0 out of 5 stars great review of many cities
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

Book provides a quick hightlights of each city and can be used to plan your trip, esp if you have only a short visit
Photos are really good and writing is very coincise - book to keep and use over and over. I have traveled extensively and this book give you a great summary if you only have a few days. Only US cities that are original and uniue are: New York, San Fran, Las vegas and New Oreleans, all others look very much alike with same kinds of houses and stores.
New York is big , moves so fast and NEW York natives are the best, assuming you can understand their accent. Some of the most friendly people are the New Yorkers - just don't say you are a New Jersey Giants fan !
You will hear at least 10 diff launguages spoken on the street.
San Fran is probably the most pretty city in America. So many hills, great food and
the gays know how to party too.
New Oreleans is old , historic , lots of unique food and people are the salt of the earth.
Vegas is just a crazy fun party town and nothing in USA compares to it.
Now, food and shows rule vs the mob in the old days. Lose at the tables - go drown your sorrows and have a 3.99 steak dinner or even better, go the Bellgio for the buffet and bring a bigger set of clothes !

Bought for my first anniversary paper gift. When I first received it, I looked up my city which had all the stuff I recommend to other people, even down to restaurant recommendations. Several other cities I know all had excellent recommendations. That's how we knew to trust what this book had to say for places we've never been. We've used this book several times to help plan our trips and we are always very pleased. A lot of these in recommendations are on the NYT website, but the book is nice to have and looks beautiful on a shelf. Highly recommend this book.

We got this as a wedding gift and in turn gave it to several couples at their weddings as well! Very informative, colorful, and easy to read. Makes planning a quick weekend getaway a breeze! My husband is a SUPER planner when it comes to trips, and I thought he might think this book was encroaching on his territory - but he absolutely loves it! We can't wait to use it for our next weekend trip!

4.0 out of 5 stars Makes me feel adventurous!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2012
Verified Purchase
So this book has sort of a 90s encyclopedia feel to it. The cover is like a cloth sort of material and a mix between a hard and soft cover. The few places that I've been to (basically Toronto, New York and Philadelphia) are slightly disappointing. The events listed arent all that fabulous, BUT I excuse it because there are a lot of things to do in those cities so it will feel like a hit or miss to anyone. I had fun looking through the book because it made me feel adventurous and totally ready to travel again! I especially like the recommendations for the seaside towns (Boston, Providence, Martha's Vineyard) and the book has persuaded me to visit there one day! I'm only about 1/3 through the book (yes I'm reading each one meticulously) and I dont regret this purchase at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-Written, doesn't offer only 'tourist traps'
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
As the title says, this isn't like Fodors, where it seems like the only things recommended are tourist traps.

I'm originally from Kansas City, and I looked it up. Turns out, it actually recommends restaurants that are lesser known, and stuff to see/do that I would recommend to others.

I did the same for Baltimore - where I now live, and the recommendations are pretty much about as good.

So, at least from looking up cities I know well, this book seems to pick out cool stuff to see and do, rather than the worn out tourist destinations. Sure, there are some of the touristy things included, but it isn't only that, which is what I'd expect from a Fodors or other travel books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Informative

I have been reading the "36 Hours" columns for many years. I used to cut them out and save them but lately have used the internet to find the columns that I needed. This book makes it much easier to find what I want and I have enjoyed reading many of the columns again. Also got some new ideas for short trips.

I wish they would publish 2 other books of New York Times travel columns. The "Practical Traveler" column is packed full of useful information and would make a great book for anyone interested in travel . . . . . and why not a second volume of the "36 Hours" column featuring foreign destinations? I would buy both of them. I'd bet that many people would.

Este libro es idóneo para lectores viajeros y/o curiosos ya que propone una serie de actividades para las 36 horas imaginarias de una visita a un número enorme de ciudades de EE.UU. y Canadá. El ibro está dividido en zonas geográficas, lo que facilita la planificación si vas a ir a una región concreta: costa este, California, Sur... En cada una de las ciudades se proponen museos, lugares históricos, restaurantes, etc.
En resumen, fantástico. Además el libro esté muy bien editado y es una gozada verlo y tocarlo. Mi edición es la inglesa.
