Reviews

"Bursting with options from breweries to cocktail lounges to coffeehouses, this book has up-to-the-minute options, with the recent publication date of November 14th For a true night on the town, Drink serves up routes for bar crawls in neighborhoods like Koreatown or Long Beach, where you can walk your way into a completely drunken state without fear of reprisal. LA Weekly Squid Ink "Drink: Los Angeles includes more than 500 listings for great booze and juice bars, beer taprooms, wine stores, coffee houses, even boba shops. What you won't find: chain shops and eateries, and places that suck. They prefer to simply focus on the good and ignore the bad." KPCC (NPR) The book is so good that it gives the barfly not just one but several reasons to toast its presence. First, its design: Gorgeous, simple, expertly laid out, carefully selected typefaces and graphic prompts. But also the little black and red semi-hardcover was built to fit into the hip pocket of a pedestrian on a pub crawl, and so couldnt be more practical. The writing and editing, overseen by Prospect Park founder and boss Colleen Dunn Bates is of the highest order: Clear, informative, striking just the right tone of fun and frolic along with directions and criticism. Larry Wilson, Pasadena Star-News For the companion book, Eat: Los Angeles: "We would follow this guide into hell" Long Beach Press-Telegram "So hyper-local it instantly claims a place in die-hard Angeleno's hearts" Los Angeles Times "I chose Eat: LA as a broadcast partner because of its good taste, sense of humor, and spirit of adventure" John Rabe, host of KPCC's #1 weekend show, Off-Ramp
