The NIGHT+DAY Difference

NIGHT+DAY, the first travel guide series from Pulse Guides, aims to publish extraordinary guides for extraordinary travelers. Our books abide by one guiding principle: Never settle for the ordinary.

The Pulse of the City

Our job is to point you to all of the city's peak experiences: amazing museums, unique spas, and spectacular views. But the complete urbanista experience is more than just impressions — it's grown-up fun, the kind that thrives by night as well as by day. Urban fun is a hip nightclub or a trendy restaurant. It's people-watching and people-meeting.

Lonely planet? We don't think so. NIGHT+DAY celebrates our lively planet.

The Right Place. The Right Time. It Matters.

A NIGHT+DAY city must have exemplary restaurants, a vibrant nightlife scene, and enough attractions to keep a visitor busy for six days without having to do the same thing twice.

In selecting restaurants, for instance, food is important, but so is the scene. Our hotels, most of which are 4- and 5-star properties, are rated for the quality of the concierge staff as well as the rooms. You won't find kids with fake IDs at our nightclub choices. And the attractions must be truly worthy of your time.

Experienced travelers know that timing is almost everything. Going to a restaurant at 7 pm can be a very different experience (and probably less fun) than at 9 pm; a champagne boat cruise might be ordinary in the morning but spectacular at sunset. These are the kinds of details that make the difference between a good experience and a great one... and a good travel guide and a great one.

The Bottom Line

Your time is precious. Our guides must be easy to use and dead-on accurate. That's why our executive editor, book and online editors, and our writers spend hundreds of hours researching, writing, and debating selections for each guide.

The results are presented in four unique, distinctive ways:

• The 99 Best, with our top three choices in 33 unique categories that highlight what's great about a city
   
• Our Experience chapters, in which our selections are organized by distinct themes or personalities (Chic, Hip, Hot, Cool, and Classic)
   
• A Perfect Plan (three nights and three days) for each city theme, showing how to get the most of your travels in a short period of time
   
• The Black Book, listing all the hotels, restaurants, nightlife and attractions, with key details, contact information, and page references

Our bottom line is this: If you find our guides easy to use and enjoyable to read, and with our help you have an extraordinary time, we've succeeded.
