Publication Date: January 1998

ROMANTIC NEW YORK CITY: A GUIDE TO THE MOST ROMANTIC CLUBS, RESTAURANTS, BARS, AND HOTELS IN NEW YORK CITY is a guidebook to the most romantic venues and rendezvous in New York City, as selected by two sophisticated young New Yorkers. Graduates of New York University; neither wanted to leave New York after graduation. Enthusiastic Manhattanites, they relish the changing restaurant and club scene in the city as well as the unique quiet and picturesque spots throughout the city that are known only to New Yorkers.

Will King's essays and Jimmy Hahn's moody black-and-white photographs show just why each featured romantic location makes the cut. Will King's short, engaging essay about each romantic venue includes tips on how to find it, when to go there, why it is unique, what to do there, what to order, and who you will see there. ROMANTIC NEW YORK CITY contains fifty of Jimmy Hahn's beautiful, full-page black-and-white photographs of each romantic club, restaurant, bar, hotel, or outdoors location as well as numerous small "incidental" photographs of memorabilia associated with each featured venue.

ROMANTIC NEW YORK CITY is both an art book and a useful guidebook for lovers and romantics of all ages. Beautifully designed, the book is appealing to look at. It also includes street addresses, including cross streets, and phone numbers for each romantic location. ROMANTIC NEW YORK CITY will appeal to readers who are familiar with the venues it features as well as to those who merely wish to become habitues, at least temporarily, of the most romantic spots in the most exciting city in the world.

Review

"Looking for a special place to rendezvous or the perfect honeymoon spot? Go east - with the guidance of ROMANTIC NEW YORK CITY, a user-friendly guide to the most popular and most romantic spots the big apple has to offer." -- Josephine Sharif, Complete Woman magazine, 10/98

"New York is many things to many people: the epitome of excitement to some, the height of sophistication to others. To photographer Jimmy Hahn and writer William King III, New York is exquisitely romantic.

In ROMANTIC NEW YORK CITY: A GUIDE TO THE MOST ROMANTIC CLUBS, RESTAURANTS, BARS, AND HOTELS IN NEW YORK this erstwhile and determined team has roamed the secluded corners of the Big Apple in search of romance at its best and its most seductive. They have more than succeeded. With its sepia-tinted photographs and its luscious text, this inviting and intoxicating little book lives up to its title. Romance reeks from each of its elegantly designed pages. The Inn at Irving Place is a small hotel situated in a pair of Gramercy Park brownstones while One If By Land, Two If By Sea, located in Aaron Burr's former Greenwich Village carriage house, considered one of New York's most romantic restaurants.

The guide also features romantic spots as well such as Strawberry Fields, the 2.5-acres sanctuary in Central Park that Yoko Ono dedicated to her late husband, John Lennon." -- June Sawyers, Chicago Tribune, 2/15/98

This review is from: Romantic New York City: A Guide to the Most Romantic Clubs, Restaurants, Bars, and Hotels in New York City (Paperback)

Armed with my copy of this book and The RoMANtic's Guide, my wife and I were off to New York for a special romantic weekend. I couldn't have done it without these two books. My wife was amazed at the places we saw, slept and ate.

This review is from: Romantic New York City: A Guide to the Most Romantic Clubs, Restaurants, Bars, and Hotels in New York City (Paperback)

This was by far the worst quality purchase of the thousands of dollars in purchases i've made through amazon in the last few months. Once I removed the shipping plastic around the book and turned the first page, the binding on the package immediately cracked releasing the papers from the book. Plus theres only like 50 pages in this book total with various headings. The content is ridiculously elementary in the suggestions contained. A google search would have resulted in better reccomendations then were contained in this book. I can not emphasize enough what a wasted purchase this is.
