Thank you for the info

This will become your bible if you are taking a trip to San Francisco. The city will become managealbe - and it has everything I was looking for to make my boring business trip become interesting. Thanks for the great information, Jane! P.S. I am going to London over the summer and was wondering if there is a Savvy book for London? Enjoy!

Home Sweet Home

... A girlfreind gave me this book as a welcome home present. I was blown away by the great information that has really helped me adjust. I am so happy to be back and ready to hit the streets running. To put it this way, it is well work the money. I do wish they would have put an index in the back so I can find the places easier? But, overall, I have been a very happy and informed reader. I have just bought 10 copies for bachelorette party favor.

brownie points from my wife

Due to my wifes job,her traveling across the country, i thought i would find a gift for her to help her suffice her addictions for pampering. Her destination for the next 3 months was San Francisco, and i shearched the net for a guide book that would feed her habit. I found several, but as sucker for pretty pictures i picked "Savvy in the City". I read it first and back to front before handing to my wife and was amazed at the witty and candid descriptions for the items listed. My wife was puzzled at first wondering why she would need a guide book, but now can not leave her hotel room with out it. Since it was such a big hit i purchased the New York guide, a city i know very well, and found that i use this book as much as my wife. Please do more cities, can not wait.
