I was blown away with all the info they crammed into a two sided page that folds up to 3" x 4" pocket size & it's water proof too. I can't imagine what you'd need that this little map doesn't have. One side includes the "street" map with a list of all the "main" street names & guides for all the sights along with the NY City subway routes.

The other side includes day trip suggestions, top sights to see and this larger map covers NYC and all the surrounding areas ... The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan Midtown, Financial District, Chinatown, Little Italy, Greenwich Village, SoHo and a bit of info about each including subway info.

This map also has facts of all kinds about the city ie: history & statistics, climate, airport info, and my favorite ... listings of all the museums/galleries, music/theaters/opera, skyscrapers, parks/gardens/zoos, annual festivals/festivities, & other sights with a brief explanations of each and their location on the map.

I bought several books at the same time I bought this map. I've been studying this map and charting on my trip and haven't even looked at the books yet. This map is really all you need unless you want to read up on the history of sites before you arrive. DS

... be it as a newbie or not, it is this map. Accurate, perfect format, and above all, indestructible. Survived long days in my pockets without wear or tear, and continues to draw jealous looks from everyone with a crumpled and dog-eared paper pocket map ;-)

I bought another map of the greater NYC area, but this one was all we needed. Great to stuff in your pocket and way more detail than you'd think could fit on such a tiny map. Love it!

I am looking forward to using this compact map which will be so convenient to always have with me and a great reference, love the size and lamiated to hold up.

Unfortunately, the print is too small to read in any but sunny conditions. Subway information is incomplete... you can't tell which street some of the subway stops are at. And bus information is completely missing. Instead, a lot of space is wasted on tourist information you don't need.

This map is of a very convenient size, folds up easily, and, as it's laminated, is unlikely to split at the folds anytime soon.

Includes useful transit and sightseeing information.

My only complaint is that, for someone whose eyesight isn't what it used to be, the small print used for street names, etc. can be hard to see in anything but the most ideal lighting.

These are great maps! My daughter used London and Paris while in Europe and we just used NYC. You can put them in your pocket and yet they are detailed enough to use the subway maps.

This really is a great little NYC map. It unfolds and refolds easily without that frustrating 'which part do I fold in now?' experience traditionally associated with folding maps. The lamination ensures that it won't suffer from wear and tear. Get one!

This map screams "tourist"! It's best left in the hotel or at home as it's way too big when unfolded. The fact that it's laminated is a plus, though.
