5 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know when you change your shopping agenda   October 5, 2008
I carry this book with me always - to know where to find a store, or restaurant or subway stop when I'm in an unfamiliar part of town - priceless.


5 out of 5 stars Without this book I'd be lost... probably somewhere in Brooklyn   September 28, 2008
I just moved to the city and have found this book to be a life saver! Because it's so small, I can always keep it in my purse and with the small neighborhood maps, I can keep it in there and read it on the subway without anybody knowing (because really, who has Not for Tourists but tourists??). Like some reviews have said, the index is a littel lacking, but if you use it like I do, you get to know where things are pretty quickly in the handy little black book! I would recomment it to anybody!

What I love about this book is the compact size and relatively comprehensive information provided, given the small size. What I don't like is the teeny little font that my middle-aged eyeballs cannot see, but I am perfectly willing to pull out the reading glasses and/or magnifier to compensate.


3 out of 5 stars Better than nothing (semi-useful)   August 16, 2008
I was just looking for something different than what this offers. The print is miniscule so you either have to have superman vision or be under 21 to easily read it. (Unless you carry a magnifying glass around NY with you...along with your umbrella, metro card, one dollar bills, cap, water bottle, room key, ID, garmin, cell phone, etc.) It has thousands of listings; mostly of places I wasn't looking for. It IS small and manageable. Something to read on the subway.


5 out of 5 stars Must-have for NY Trip!   July 30, 2008
This little book was absolutely invaluable during recent trip to NYC. Very well-organized, great details, great maps. Although we really were tourists, this book saved our bacon on more than one occasion as we were able to find needed items/locations with very little trouble. It's like having a little concierge in your pocket at all times!
