Why I read the Sunday NYT travel section
I try to read the Sunday New York Times travel section on the web for articles with titles like these from today. It's free.
---------------
Spain’s Ageless Beauties (historic paradores)
In Northern Italy, a Crossroads of Culinary Arts
Bringing New Life to Some Old European Waterfronts
Where Marie Antoinette Played, Before the Deluge
Where Rome’s Fashionistas Mingle
Dodging Traffic and Pitfalls in Gourmet Georgia (The Country)

I have the Sunday Times delivered,and of course,the Travel section is the first I read.I read most of it,but really enjoy the reviews of new or refurbished hotels.I always laugh when I read the letters ,thinking,man if you went to Fodors.com you'd have the answer to that in 2 minutes!

Agree with Howard that the section has gone downhill since the redesign. Especially miss the travel essays on the last page. The still have the odd article of interest, but seem to have crossed over to the travel as deluxe consumer item mind-set.
I no longer save it for last.

The last two posters have cited some of the shortcomings when led to my attitude about the "new" travel section as few comments above.
Not only are most of the photos "dopey," but in all modesty, I think my pictures are better than most of the ones they've printed!
I have a file full of articles from the Times travel sections of the pastm articles that were and are vital to the planning of many trips. Interestingly, I've clipped maybe one or two at the most in the past year.
