New Perks for Paid Subscribers!
We're expanding benefits for our paid subscribers, with more downloadable dining guides, the American Weekender Google Map, custom travel itineraries, and more.
Happy New Year!
As we gear up for a busy travel season at American Weekender, we wanted to update you on some new perks we’re adding for paid subscribers in 2025. If you have any travel plans in the works this year, a subscription to this newsletter is a valuable resource to help you eat well across the country. In 2025, we’re making it even easier for our paid subscribers to get all the information they need, when they need it.
Here are the revised American Weekender benefits for 2025:
