A la Carte Maps: My review on the New York Times travel blog

I love the new line of travel maps from A la Carte, featuring gorgeous watercolor artwork and handwritten advice. From my new review on the New York Times Intelligent Travel Guide:
“The company was founded in 2009 by a pair of Swiss entrepreneurs and self-described ‘flashpackers’ (backpackers with some extra flair — and cash) who were tired of lugging overweight, out-of-date guidebooks around on their travels.”

Ok but would these maps eventually be redundant given the use of Blackberries, other PDA’s or even Kindle? They look funky and for those of us who are into maps and books, a great addition to our obsessions….hmmmm….will have to look into this phenom further. Great review.
