Not for Tourists DC - Pick it up today



Pick up the newest Not for Tourists DC at your nearest bookstore. A bit of shameless self promotion on my part since I am one of their editors this year and contributing nightlife/restaurant writers! Stay tuned for the DC release party.



Not For Tourists is a growing series of guides to major cities. NFT's philosophy is simple: people need to use the cities they live in, commute into, or travel to effectively. They need to use their city’s transportation systems; its governmental infrastructure; its shops, restaurants, and nightspots—and they need all of this information while they’re on the move in a format that’s more accessible than the Yellow Pages, more informative than Zagat’s, and more useful than any other tourist’s guide out there today.

Consequently, they created a guide that has highly graphical neighborhood maps, tons of listings, and commentary on everything from restaurants, nightlife, and shopping to parks, public transit, sports stadiums, museums, art galleries, and even hardware stores. And best of all, they've squeezed all this info into a portable, attractive format designed to be an essential tool for residents, commuters, and visitors alike.
