This is the best guidebook I have ever read. Really. I am a guidebook junkie and this series is the best I've seen! I hope there will be more soon.

This is the guide for those who don't want to look like tourists. It's smart, funny, and insiderish without ever sacrificing usefulness or practicality. This is *the* guide to buy if you are going to visit the Big Apple. Looking forward to many more city books from Avant Guide. Check out their Prague book too!

Honestly, I've been living in New York for the past two years, and I think I have a reasonably fair grasp on its nighlife, restaurants, whathaveyou. Not only did this book have a listing of some of my favorite spots, but it talked about some places I wish I'd known about earlier. Some good stuff here.

when we first scanned this guide we thought perhaps we were too old to appreciate it {my husband and I are in our fifties]. However, we loved every bit of it and were especially helped in terms of what not to do or where not to eat.

I love to travel and I love guidebooks. This one is the best series Ive seen. it makes me laugh, has a great senseability about the places I like and really feels like it was written by a friend. I never write these reviews, but Im inspired to write this one because the book is so good.

I Just returned from 1 week business/pleasure visit to New York and I found this guide full of good recommendations and descriptions were accurate. Better than Lonely Planet or Time Out's, which I also bought. Quite a useful guide with plentiful restaurant, watering hole and sight-seeing suggestions. It's replete with valuable information about attractions, hotels, eateries, shops, spas, etc. Beyond this, however, the layout is terrific, and the book is remarkably easy to use as a result. The maps, in particular, are helpful.I'd definintely purchase an Avant Guide guidebook again. I am happy to say that this book was by far the best single-city guide I used.

Good range of resource info for everything from art, food, fashion and beyond. Has a good deisgn bent to selections included.

I can fully recommend this cool guidebook to anyone who wants info that gets right to the point. I was traveling around New York and bumped into two other travelers with other guidebooks that made no mention of lots of things that are in here. I told them this book is great, and now I'm telling all of you!
