Synopsis
Not for Tourists Guide to Atlanta 2010, half anti-guidebook, half urban manual, is the ultimate little black book. It reveals everything from the best art galleries, park areas, restaurants and shopping hotspots to where you can catch a movie, find great coffee and much more! Whether you've called Atlanta 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 there, NFT presents the city along with its good, its bad and its downright hideous. In over 300 pages of glorious content, this survival handbook features simply everywhere, from up-and-coming Home Park in the Downtown area and the lush greenery of Garden Hills in Central Atlanta, to Pittsburgh and charming Hapeville in South Atlanta, also covering the city's sports grounds, colleges and universities. Designed for street-savvy locals, commuters, business travellers, and yes, tourists, NFT Atlanta includes a highly graphical map for every neighbourhood featured. User-friendly map icons highlight everything from supermarkets, schools, banks and libraries, to hardware stores, gas stations, gyms 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. 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.
