Cool Hunting

Luxe, the city guides we love for their pocket-size editions covering the best of where to eat, shop, hang out and sleep in major cities throughout Europe and Asia, is at long last tackling the U.S. starting with New York. Hitting stores this week, the guides follow the same format as their predecessors, trimming down info on hundreds of locations to fit on a single piece of card stock that neatly folds away when not in use. With carefully edited picks and witty commentary at the affordable price of $9 (which makes purchasing yearly-updated editions a no-brainer), we think the formula that made the first 21 guides winners will apply here as well.

Check their site for a list of stores that carry them, including online from Amazon and Flight001.
