About the Author

Eve Zibart, AUTHOR OF SEVERAL BOOKS, INCLUDING The Unofficial Guide to New Orleans, The Unofficial Guide to New York, The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World for Grown-ups, and The Ethnic Food Lover’s Companion, spent many years as a feature writer and restaurant critic for the Washington Post and now contributes to Washingtonian and other magazines. As the Post’s former nightlife columnist, she drew on her intimate knowledge of D.C.’s diverse afterhours scene as well as the area’s vast array of dining spots when writing the entertainment and restaurant sections for this guide. Eve also scoped out where to find the best deals for our chapter on shopping and gently reminded Joe that biking is only one form of exercise.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated Information spoils this book (and our day trips) May 13 2003
By Myrtha Chang
Format:Paperback
I am a fan of the Unofficial Guide series. So I was quite shock by the inaccuracies or omissions I found in this bk (7th edition).

Example 1. It says to proceed first to the petting zoo section of the Natural History museum as it gets crowded quickly. When I got to the Museum, the front desk guide told me that section had been closed over a year ago.

Example 2. It recommended the Tourmobile bus to see the city. Tickets are $5.50 a person. Dead wrong. Tickets were $18 a person.

Example 3. We got to the Air & Space museum at 10 sharp and the line was about 50-people long. Due to 9/11, everyone has to be bag-checked now. No mention of that in the book. Forgivable. What was not forgivable was that it didn't say there was ANOTHER Entrance on the other side of the building and that has NO LINES at all. Don't call yourself the Unofficial Guide if you can't point out these things.

I was tempted to return the book and get my money back but couldn't be bothered. Thanks so much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for "up-scale" travel Oct 5 2002
By Michael Mathena
Format:Paperback
The Fodor guides are a good source for the various locations around the globe. They are not as good as the Arthur Frommer guides. The Fodor guides are not for the budget traveler. They focus on the pricier accommodations and restaurants. But, what they do rate there is a wonderful detailed description. The maps could be more detailed.***
