While we’re on the subject of travel guidebooks: Business Week just published an AP story about eat.shop guides, a series started in 2003 that, according to the article, “get down to what really matters for a generation weaned on ‘Sex and the City:’ Eating. Then shopping. And then, perhaps, more eating, followed by, why not, a smidgen more shopping.” Jen Leo, among others, likes the approach, telling the AP, “Travelers are looking beyond the basic hotel and popular restaurant—they are looking for a different angle on why they tour a city.”
