Seattle Not for Tourists 2010

Not for Tourists Guide to Seattle 2010, half anti-guidebook, half urban manual, is the ultimate little black book. Packing it all in and revealing where to find great food, quirky landmarks, catch a movie, find local supermarkets and ATMs, or take in the vibrant music scene. Whether you've called Seattle your home for decades or just arrived last night, you ignore at your peril this new 2010 edition with its caustic neighbourhood summaries and refreshing, politically incorrect descriptions. Meticulously researched and written by folks who actually live here, NFT presents the city along with its good, its bad and its downright hideous. In over 300 pages of glorious content, the pocket-sized survival handbook features simply everywhere, from Belltown and Madison Park to Mercer Island to Kirkland, as well as covering Parks, Sports, Transit, and Arts & Entertainment. Designed for street-savvy locals, commuters, business travellers, grunge rock hopefuls and yes, tourists, NFT Seattle includes a highly graphical map for every neighbourhood featured.
User-friendly map icons highlight everything from coffee shops, supermarkets, liquor stores and libraries, to hardware stores, gas stations, schools and pharmacies. So if you're meeting friends in an unfamiliar part of the city or find yourself off the beaten track, NFT is a must-have resource. This edition includes hundreds of new listings and updates, thanks in part to the submissions of readers. But NFT doesn't waste your time by serving up five zillion options just because they're in a database: contributors have gone back to eat, drink, dance and shop their way through last year's listings to check that they're still worth knowing.
