A reading series for the wanderlust stricken, the Restless Legs gatherings bring travelers, travel writers, and the people who love them together for an evening of sharing tales from the road, gossiping, and general debauchery. Tony Perrottet, Ayun Halliday, Mary Morris, Jason Wilson, Tony Hiss, Elisabeth Eaves, Thomas Swick, Benjamin Wallace, David Grann, Patrick Symmes, Carl Hoffman, and Franz Wisner have all read.

Restless Legs is (finally) back from resting its legs. How could it not be? After all, March 3 will be the third annual post-New York Times Travel Show reading extravaganza, in which the speakers from the panel I'm moderating earlier that day take to the mic at Lolita bar.
Here's the line up for March 3 (starting at 6pm):
The man, the myth...the Rolf Potts, travel writer extraordinaire, has won awards and had accolades tossed at him from all corners of the globe. He's the author of the very popular book Vagabonding, as well as the ground-breaking collection Marco Polo Didn't Go There. Rolf's work has also appeared in The New Yorker, National Geographic Traveler, Conde Nast Traveler, and The Atlantic, among many other publications.
The first time I met Josey Miller---the first day of my NYU travel writing class---I knew she was going to be a success. She's a great writer and she also happens to be one of the nicest people I know. Josey has written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and Time Out New York. You can often find her on on Good Morning America and MSNBC as the "travel expert" for TripAdvisor.
