Extensively revised for 2007, this 416-page volume includes updated information on finding a home to rent or buy, expanded activities for the sports-minded (trapeze school, anyone?), and a brand-new section detailing day trip resources for those seeking a brief respite from the city. From Inwood to Battery Park, from Riverdale to Bayside to DUMBO to Grymes Hill, plus suburbs in New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester, and Connecticut, this latest volume extensively and intensively describes each neighborhood its character, its features, and types and availability of housing while offering the most up-to-date information on finding a place to live, childcare, transportation, education, cultural life, helpful services, recreation, and much more.

About the Author
Jack Finnegan has lived in, under and around New York City for ten years, just long enough to realize he doesn t know half as much as he thinks he does, about the city or anything else. After years of moderate work in theatre (and, truth be told, bartending), he has directed more energy toward writing, and is currently at work on his second novel (the first is a rare print which can be found exclusively in his living room). His personal recommendation is that you avoid basement apartments.
