The Layover Locator: Your Guide to Experiencing the World’s Best Tourist Cities without Acting Like a Tourist (According to Anthony Bourdain)

Anthony Bourdain is everyone’s favorite bad boy foodie. After conquering our hearts and our stomachs on his hit Travel Channel Show, “No Reservations,” the no-nonsense host is back to show us how to maximize our visits to some of the world’s biggest and busiest metropolises. On “The Layover,” Bourdain globetrots between cities such as San Francisco, New York, Singapore, and Amsterdam, making frenzied 24 to 48-hour stopovers in which he show us what a traveler should eat and explore off the beaten path.

MapMuse has translated Bourdain’s acerbic advice into brief how-to guides for each city, making sure you know exactly what to do and try if you’re traveling the world like the foulmouthed foodie himself. Browse the app’s interactive map, checking out helpful background info, contact details, photos, and web links for each restaurant, hotel, and tourist attractions he recommends. Get driving directions from your current location, or read episode summaries to experience the trip vicariously if you can’t squeeze it into your busy schedule.
