This review is from: Berndtson New York City City Streets Map (Map)

Berndtson maps are jam packed full of information, yet easy to read and legible thanks to its clean modern layout and judicious use of colors and icons. On the main map, Manhattan is shown from downtown all the way up to 86th Street in 1:15000 scale with Subway stations pinpointed along with major landmarks, churches, and museums. The back is printed with 1:9000 scale focus maps of the financial district, and another one of midtown. There is also a 1:240000 map of the tri-state area. Easy to fold, and to store away, the maps are also thickly laminated allowing you to mark it up with a china pen, then wipe off the marks when you are done. rkchin. more map reviews at http://www.nychinatown.org/bookstore/index6.html

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Map of NYC, March 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: New York City Streets (Misc. Supplies)

I have been stranded too many times in foreign cities by inadequate maps. This series of maps simply does it right - no improvements needed.

The B & B Map is laminated and can easily be folded many different ways. It shows every street, no matter how small. It lists bus lines, subway lines, and even buildings, such as the Met Life building and the Mid-Manhattan Library. Another cool feature of the map is that major areas of Manhattan receive their own little section. There are zoomed-in maps of Midtown and the Financial District with amazing detail. Best of all, it is inexpensive.
