ABOUT US

When you’re traveling, think of us as your expert advance team, pointing you to the best restaurants and bars around the country. When you’re home, look to us to provide inspiration for your next weekend away.

Our newsletter publishes each Friday. It features profiles and vetted recommendations from America’s smaller cities, college towns, and vacation destinations. You’ll also find stories and interviews with the people that bring those places to life. Subscriptions are available at americanweekender.substack.com.

Our American Weekender Field Guides are authoritative, curated dining guides offering multi-day itineraries that highlight both new spots and local favorites. You can download our digital guides here. They are formatted for your mobile phone, perfect for quick reference on the go. Paid subscribers to our newsletter receive a free Field Guide each month as well as a subscriber discount on additional guides.

American Weekender is edited by Amy Cavanaugh and Kenney Marlatt, two Midwest-based journalists with decades of experience covering restaurants and bars from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Seaboard.
