WILL BE USING THIS BOOK NEXT TIME WE TRAVEL!

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is literally one of the most fun and factual books about New York that I've ever read through. My family and I enjoy traveling to New York whenever we can and this book will certainly use as an inspirational guide to our next trip. You never really realize how many different things there are to do until you read this book, which I definitely recommend. The best part is that for people who have never traveled to New York before, the book is not overwhelming surprisingly. Next time you visit the public library, I recommend checking this book out to see how you like it or next time you're planning a trip to New York, pick this book up and read it on the way there. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

A BFF Guide to NYC

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a great resource whether you're a NYC resident who wants to find something new and different or a visitor looking for great ideas. Caitin Leffel describes her faves in a concise, friendly and convincing way. She sneaks in lots of hints. It's a fun "read" whether you actually use the info or just have a crush on New York.
Information is not organized by neighborhoods so trip planning can be a challenge.

Very helpful book on New York City

This book has been very helpful in planning a trip to New York City for next Spring. I am enjoying it very much. It lists all kinds of things that a family could do in the Big Apple, as well as describing restaurants and other venues. I recommend it.

MUST BUY! For anyone visiting, or anyone already living here.

Amazing book for anyone visiting the city, or even for someone who has been living here for years. I've been living here for 5 years now and I had no idea about some of these things to do. This book is so helpful and amazing, I really am looking forward to trying some of the stuff in here. I only wish I had enough money to be able to do it ALLL!!!!

DEFINITELY recommend. Well written, and the best source for NYC tips I've ever come across. Way better than anything online.

Lots of data, but I need pictures!!! I know it seems that I need a guide but this is not the case! I've been to NY lots of times but sometimes you dont get to know the names of the places you've been! Sketches would be great!
Great ideas and lots of places to go, anyway...

Great resource

Great book with lots of fun ideas. I've been to New York City a few times, but look forward to my upcoming trip to try out a few of these ideas. Of course, it hits some of the obvious, but also has a lot of other unique ideas. I've looked at a number of NYC books, and this is one of the best.

Not worth it at all

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

Unless you can find it for cheap, don't even bother. They seriously list Home Depot as something to do. Really guys? Why would anyone in their right minds travel to NYC to see a big box hardware store.

There are a few things worth looking into, but I think my money would have been better spent in the city and my time on some blogs.

Very disappointing.

Great book for independent tourists!

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was looking for a book that helps me to discover NYC in a different way and this book was the best! You have every corner of the city with all the information to organize you trip. It is very well organized and every type of places. I highly recommend for people who likes to discover cities in a non-traditional way.

Visit in NYC

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

Ordered the book to get some new insights for my 2 week visit to NYC. I found the book very informing,though I have to admit my stay was not long enough to take advantage of the book totally.First followed my own preferences (some same ideas also in the book)and then the 10 days visit was already over,but certainly I can still study the book at home......for my next visit.
