From the Publisher:

Michelin’s new series, Michelin Must-Sees does all the planning while you do all of the playing. Organized by category, Michelin Must-Sees shows travelers a city’s best attractions – and even rates attractions through it star system. Let the stars be your guide- Michelin stars that is. We’ve taken the shoulder-shrugging, head scratching, "gee I don’t know" out of sightseeing by grouping attractions into three categories; the absolutely must sees (***) – famous sights you should absolutely not miss; the really musts sees (**)- make a real effort to see; and the must see (*) – see if your time permits. Now you can see in a blink of an eye a city’s best attractions. Look inside to see at a glance the city’s best places to eat, stay overnight , sip a cocktail or experience the spa lift and, of course, its finest museums, historic sites and eclectic neighborhoods.

How To Find An Address in DC
� The focal point of Washington’s street system is the US Capitol building.
� The two cardinal axes—North Capitol and South Capitol streets, and East Capitol Street and the Mall—divide the city into four quadrants: Northwest, Northeast, Southeast and Southwest.

Once you understand this quadrant system (see Practical Information), you should be able to locate an address in central DC with ease.
� Remember that the quadrant designation (NW, NE, SE, SW) indicates the location in relation to the Capitol, and that building numbers run in series of 100 per block.
� Odd-even numbering of buildings in each of the four quadrants follows a pattern based on the street’s orientation to the Capitol.
o For example, in the Northwest quadrant, the north and east sides of streets and avenues are odd-numbered, while the south and west sides are even-numbered.
