This review is from: Walking New York : 20 Original Walks Exploring New York City (Paperback)

My wife and I enjoyed this book, which provided a number of interesting walks around Manhattan. With plentiful easy-to-understand maps, and interesting explanations of New York history, it really enhanced our vacation. If you are the type of person who likes to walk around a city on vacation, or are interested in walking around New York due to the sheer density of things to see, this is well worth taking with you.
