2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, January 16, 2003

By A Customer

Only two chapters of the book are very helpful. The sections on the neighborhoods provides a good overview but overall the book is outdated and not reliable as a resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Relocation Guide!!!, March 5, 2001

By	Gregory S. Bayer "gbayer" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book served as the number 1 resource I found when relocating to New York City. It provided me extremely useful and practical information relating to schools, apartment finding, weekend retreats and dog runs for my dog.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is moving to New York from any other city and needs some starting point, regardless of whether or not you are married or single.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs up!!, March 13, 2001

By	Yasuko Kawamura (New York,NY,USA) - See all my reviews

I have been in NYC for 1year.I am from Japan. This book covers all information that I need as a newcomer to NYC.I was especially interested in the subject"for foreign newcomer".It is about New York Culture,etiquette and how to get a job.Now I am sharing this book with all my friends who are in the same situation as being a foreigner in NYC. I believe that this book is the most practical guide book about the Big Apple.
