5.0 out of 5 stars Most used map during my trip, essential for NYC tourists., July 25, 2006

This review is from: Manhattan Block by Block: A Street Atlas (Map)

I won't lie, I was not very good at getting around in NYC. This book was the one that I turned to when I needed help. This was very detailed and a lifesaver when it came to locating landmarks. I wouldn't go to NYC without this map. The subways were so confusing I gave up on figuring them out and stuck to the streets. There's no huge fold out section, it's all done in a book format, which I loved. This is a must-have for NYC.

This is by far the most useful book I own (and I own a lot of books). I wish they had editions for the other boroughs as well! I keep this with me every time I go out, and I don't even live in New York, I just write about it.

It's well-indexed and everything is easy to find. It's compact enough to stick in your purse, ladies, or back pocket, guys. This is the best ten bucks you'll spend on a book if you ever have to do any navigating in Manhattan.

Buy it. Right now.

This review is from: Manhattan Block by Block: A Street Atlas (Map)

For anyone who works the streets of Manhattan -- professional tour guides like me, cab drivers, frequent visitors, residents in search of obscure details, whoever -- this is an essential. Handsomely presented and compulsively accurate (updated editions appear several times a year) this street atlas by the widely-admired designer of the NYC Subway map presents a wealth of information in a compact format: landmarks, parks, hotels, theaters, one-way streets, street addresses, and more. No restaurants (there's always Zagat), but a wealth of detailed indexes. I couldn't live without it. A pity Taurenac, who walked every block in Manhattan to prepare the guide, shows no interest in the other boroughs.
