| "Teachers — like parents — survive the hardest days by dreaming of great escapes (however brief). Give them fodder for imagined and real trips alike with TASCHEN’s compilation of The New York Times column known for insider tips on experiencing the best of a destination in just a day and a half."— Daily Candy.com, United States |
| „Es ist schön aufgeteilt, reichlich bebildert, mit kleinen Umgebungsplänen versehen und lässt sich zur Reisevorbereitung wie auch als Nachschlagewerk während der Reise nutzen.”— rockabilly-rendezvous.de, Köln, Germany |
| „Die vielen Autoren, allesamt erfahrene Traveler und versierte Schreiber, haben sich Hunderte Reiseziele mit einer Mischung aus sorgfältiger Recherche, Insider-Wissen und Sinn für Spaß vorgenommen, stets mit dem Ziel, möglichst viel aus einem Kurzurlaub herauszuholen.“— Modern Times, Linz, Austria |
| "You know those 36 Hours travel columns you’ve been saving from the New York Times for years... the ones that are stuffed away in a folder somewhere, shredded at the corners, turning yellow and brittle, but you couldn’t throw them out because you were dreaming of the day they’d be stuffed in a suitcase, ready to take you on a perfectly-guided weekend trip... toss them! The NYT teamed up with TASCHEN to reprint the best 150 of them into what might just be my favorite travel book ever (well, perhaps the second best, followed only by TASCHEN’s Paris): The New York Times 36 hours... it has photos, pinpointed maps, restaurants, hotels, shopping, museums... but only the best of the best, so you don’t waste your time wondering which historical site is a must-see... it’s the perfect antidote to those overstuffed, overwhelming two-hundred-page guidebooks you typically buy for a weekend trip... it also makes for pretty wonderful imaginary trips... you can picture yourself strolling down the cobble-stoned streets of Boston or the waterfront of Seattle, and there are just enough photos to make it sufficiently tantalizing for mental travel... nab it now... and pick up an extra while you’re at it... something tells me this will be a no-brainer holiday gift for at least 3 people on your list."— Shoppingsmycardio.com, United States |
| „36 Hours fokussiert nicht das Mögliche, sondern das Machbare. Zeiten werden realistisch kalkuliert, damit der Besucher das Beste (nicht das Meiste) aus einem Wochenendtrip herausholen kann. Statt massentouristischer Highlights finden die Autoren das Besondere, Schräge oder Interessante.”— Deutschlandradio Kultur, Berlin, Germany |
| "Travel in my life is so important. Here’s great book to pick up for yourself or it will make a great gift for others... I usually collect the "36 Hours" articles from the New York Times Sunday Travel Section, but that can become untidy. It’s great to consult this book for wherever you are heading and for whatever length of time. This source gives great insight for food, sights and lodging and other things off the beaten path. Not only are the contributors some of our usual favorites (Sam Sifton, Mark Bittman, etc) this book come from the beautiful publishing house of TASCHEN AND it has (5) lovely ribbon bookmarks (I don’t know about you, but my books and mags are always covered in post-it notes)... A must have."— Onewhiteshirt.com, San Francisco, United States |
| "In this book, the Times and TASCHEN bring together updated and new versions of 36 Hours columns in 150 U.S. and Canadian locations, from the great urban centers on everyone’s travel list to surprising locales with undiscovered character and charm... for a taste of adventure and a veritable journey throughout the continent, explore 36 Hours in America."— Lifebywyetha.blogspot.com, United States |
| "Tre giorni e due notti, da venerdì a domenica, ora per ora, tutto quanto si può fare in ben 150 weekend tra Stati Uniti e Canada. Secondo lo schema della rubrica 36 Hours del The New York Times, di cui il volume è una ricca raccolta."— Marie Claire Travel, Milano, Italy |
| "Sometimes traditional guidebooks can add more hassle to planning. Overwhelming the reader with a huge list of attractions and restaurants in tiny print, it can be hard to decide what to do and in which order. 36 Hours seems like the perfect solution to this. Instead of just listing what’s available, you join the author on their ideal trip – knowing that travelling between destinations (and sometimes where to eat nearby) has been taken in to account. Even better, the book tends towards more unusual and unique sights without spending time explaining the obvious tourist spots."— Cut Out & Keep, London, United Kingdom |
