Customer Reviews

feeling a New Yorker

I bought this book before my arrival to New York. I have lived here for the last year. I used this book so many times to walk around, I double-checked lots of small details in this book without finding a single out of date information. I already feel like a New Yorker, and love this city! This book can equally help a weekend visitor, a short-time tourist or somebody who moves to New York for good.

A helpful tourist guide

This is one of the more comprehensive travel guides to New York that I have found. It includes lots of vital information on transportation and clear, helpful maps, which I found invaluable on my trip to the city. There was also a great deal of information of interest to visitors from outside the US, which I found interesting.The sections on the outer buroughs are a little brief, but most tourist visitors to the city are probably more interested in Manhattan anyhow. A great travel guide, but if you're a resident or planning on moving to New York, another book might be more helpful.
