A very handy guide for Native New Yorkers & regular visitors, June 30, 2003
I dont know how the conversation started, but I was at the Union Square store of a major competitor of Amazon, lets just call it FarmStructures & Nobel Booksellers, and the security guard told me that he had relied on this book as a native New Yorker for years. So I bought it.And now *I* have relied on it for years. Whether you are looking for where the D train crosses the 7 or where exactly Cornelia Street is anyway, this book is excellent. Museums, movie theaters, road maps and highways are all here. The shopping and restaurants sections are good for out-of-towners looking for the classics, less useful for New Yorkers looking for the next new thing, obviously. Its small, convenient, and well-drafted (the maps themselves are different colors so you can readily find what youre looking for as you flip through yellow is street /subway; pink is daytime attractions; black/blue for nighttime attractions). All in all, anybody living in or visiting New York frequently would find this useful. If you are a one-time tourist, though, youre probably better off going with something more comprehensive like Lonely Planet. Enjoy!

An excellent tourist guide for NYC, December 26, 2000
This 1/4" thick guide is excellent for visitors and locals in NYC, from the airport to finding the zoo. Easy to fit in your jacket pocket. It is well balanced for details on visitor's destinations of corporate offices, siteseeing, sports events, shopping, night clubs, and of course restaurants and hotels. It provides details for car drivers, cabs, metro, bus, in Manhattan as well as from NJTransit, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Also has an address finder, neighborhoods, and zip codes easily identified for you to find the easiest way to get there.

Ideal, January 17, 2001
By A Customer
As a recruiter who frequently brings people into NYC, these guides are hands-down the best tool for learning to navigate the city. By eshcewing the "visitor's guide" stuff on the best place to get coffee in SoHo and the like they provide a trimmed-down overview of the city that's indispensible for anyone staying here an extended period of time. No other city guide is as consistently satisfying as these. We've been issuing them to our people for years and will continue to do so.
