3.0 out of 5 starsa good starting point to explore NYC's culinary surprises but has many weaknesses...
By Dianne on January 11, 2006
Format: Paperback
If you are interested in exploring New York's vibrant, delicious underbelly, and are willing to venture deep into the boroughs to experience the many cultures of this great city, this book is a good place to start.

I thank the author for getting me into neighborhoods that I might not have otherwise ventured into. I have used it to explore about a dozen locations in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. You are pretty much guaranteed an interesting afternoon if you follow one of these walks, in spite of the book's many weaknesses.

The organization of information around neighborhoods is a good starting point, but beyond that the infomation is not presented in a way that is easy to follow on your feet. Yes there are maps, but the maps do not delineate the routes of the walks nor do they show any of the places mentioned in the text. The text gives addresses of restaurant and shops but rarely gives cross-streets. A little more information on the maps that visually shows the route of the walks and location of the points of interests would have made a huge difference here.

The book is bulky and just not well designed for walking tours. It is very difficult to find your way walking while trying to keep your place in a page of text. And besides the weaknesses in design, many of the points of interest are inaccurate or outdated. It just seems like the book was put together very quickly and cheaply. It is obvious that some neighborhoods were not researched very extensively when the author mentions that a restaurant looked interesting but she did not try it on her [single] trip to the neighborhood.

Overall, I do recommend this book simply because I know of no other guide like it for NYC. But use it just to put yourself in the right neighborhood, don't waste too much time searching for specific places listed here. I use this book as a starting point and supplement it with more current and intensive infomation from chowhound.com.

5.0 out of 5 starsNYC is a Foodie's Paradise
By Charles Molesworth on October 31, 2003
Format: Paperback
This is a very exciting book. Myra Alperson guides the reader through neighborhoods in all five boroughs of NYC showing you the wonderful bakers, butchers, grocers, and restaurant owners who have settled there, bringing the food products of their native cultures to our city. Each walking tour is clearly laid out making for the prospect for many delightful afternoons. Bring a camera and a knapsack to record your experiences and carry the goodies back home from these enriching experiences.

5.0 out of 5 starsA New Yorker Loves This Book
By Linda C. Jones on October 30, 2003
Format: Paperback
I have to say that I can't think what this Seattle person can possibly know about the subject of this book.
The book is a wonderful introduction to neighborhoods that even people like me who have lived here for many years have never visited. Through the food and restaurants of New York's unique ethnic neighborhoods, we come to understand their culture, history, and points of interest as well. Ms. Alperson exhibits enthusiasm for the simple and inexpensive foods made and sold by the residents of these neighborhoods for other residents. This is a different and welcome approach from that of all other books addressing the restaurants of New York.
Both New Yorkers and visitors can have fun discovering these places. Good directions are provided in every case.

4.0 out of 5 starsTry the real tour
By Adam Rabiner on June 17, 2004
Format: Paperback
I actually did not read this book but did take an actual tour of Sunset Park, Brooklyn with Ms. Alperson (I rate the tour 4 stars). Ms. Alperson has a sense of humor and is passionate about food, as are those who take the tour. The whole point of the book is to get you into these neighborhoods to sample the foods. So if you aren't a book lover, go to Ms. Alperson's website ([...]) and sign up for a culinary tour. It's a great way to meet people, get to know a different NYC neighborhood, and try stuff you never would have otherwise. I have recommended the tour to friends who have really enjoyed it.
