1. This handsome little volume invites the reader to look up, at hand-carved decorative elements on buildings throughout Manhattan. Whether you are actually traveling or merely sitting in an armchair this offers a lovely way to slow down and really see examples from the past that have been preserved and/or are slowly deteriorating.

1. This small book is very comprehensive. I feel very overwhelmed with all of the information that's covered in this book. I haven't moved to NYC yet. That's the only reason for the 4 out of 5 stars. I don't think I will really know how good this book is until I'm there. But, with this book in hand, I can't imagine getting lost in Manhattan.



2. This book saved my life when I was visting a friend in New York. The subway system can be complicated, but this book does a great job of breaking down the city as well as offering locations of restaurants, theatres, museums, and more. Includes a mini subway/bus map that is really helpful. As long as you know where you want to go, this book can get you there. The best way to use the book is for planning for a day ahead and figuring out routes, etc. Worth every penny.



3. My brother-in-law, who lives on Manhattan's upper West side, pulled out his NFT when we met for lunch in the Financial District. Immediately, I leafed through the whole thing, looking for info that I needed for my 5-day stay in NYC. It had everything - subway & bus routes, restaurants, bike paths, a decent map of Central Park - in a small profile, easily fitting into a jacket or outside pocket. One of the things I disliked about travelling in NYC is having to pull out a map when trying to navigate. This, to me, simply announces "I'm a TOURIST," which in certain areas may be considered undesirable. But the small profile of the NFT makes it easy (and quick) to focus in on the part of town your are in, as well as the part of town where you want to go.
   
   Right after lunch, I found one in a bookstore - but in the future will think ahead to order off Amazon and save a couple of $$.
   
   My only complaints are pathetically minor. One, the market and restaurant listings did not include a phone number, requiring access to a phone book or another call to directory assistance. Two, it wasn't always clear exactly where the subway stops were located. The 1-2-3 at 72nd Street is pretty obvious, the 3 at 110th was not.
   
   Grab the NFT and travel swiftly and safely.



4. This book is amazing. If you actrully use it, you will find it indespensible. The good points.
   The subway map in the back is crucial. Especially once you see the ones the ground transportation people will give you. The map has stops and transfer points.
   The detailed maps in the begining have tones of info and are repeated with diffrent info as to not clutter them. The bus routes and landmarks are key here.
   The plethora of other information in the rest of the books is interesting and helpful. It's divided nicely and has information that could prove useful in a jam.
   The bad
   Not having a detailed map of the huge maze like central park. Is needed. Wait. My bad there is one in the "parks and Places" section. Nevermind.
   Mostly the city is shown to great detail. The outer bouroghs like queens, broklyn, the bronx ect. go un-noticed. If you are spending a great deal of time out there, maybe something else is best for you. but if your in the city this is great.
   Resturants are great to show you the diverse flavor of the city. But, if your on a budget and looking for a Mcd's then your out of luck. By the way if you are going to the met and hope there's fast food close by. nope. Not close at all. The nearist fast food is six blocks away. Of course like the book says there are plenty of street vendors.
   
   Well thats it. For the bad should not stop you from getting this book. It's easy to carry around and very useful. Before you go to NY you should look this book over and read the many sections in it. It would only help you more that way. I spent a week in new york and this was indespencible. I used it every day and took it everywhere. The only time I felt lost was when I exited a subway and had no ideal which way I was facing and which direction to walk in.



5. NFT is a fantastic resource for anyone planning a trip to NYC. The book is not a traditional tour guide. There are no "top 5" or "must lists" on this book. Instead, you get a book full of detailed maps of NYC along with a listing of restaurants, shops, pharmacies, newsagents, coffee shops, tourist sites, museums, etc. etc. etc. During our trip, my husband was amazed that I knew exactly where to find the nearest Starbucks, or where to go to pickup the subway to Times Square, or where the closest bookstore was, little knowing that I had this handy little book. It also has maps of some of the most popular venues, museums and sights, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yankees Stadium, and the like. What particularly amused me was that as we were walking around the campus of NYU, we popped into a local newspaper shop that catered to students and found that this book was the only New York tour guide/map for sale.
   
   I highly recommend this little black book to anyone contemplating a trip to NYC. I am big planner so I load myself with tour guides to help me plan our trip. And even with all the planning, I knew that I only needed one book to take to our trip and NFT was it. As the saying goes, "don't leave home without it."

1 comments about The Campgrounds of New York: A Guide to the State Parks and Public Campgrounds.

1. This is truly a must have for anyone who camps in New York State. I am writing this review after purchasing my 4th copy. I have had 2 copies of my own, one of which a family member made off with, and I have bought 2 as gifts. It is the one thing we are never without from planning a trip to sitting at the campsite. We use the individual campground maps to choose our favorite sites and we use the tons of empty page space to make notes about the different campgrounds. We always have it in the car, even when we're not camping, so that if we ever pass a campground we can go through and make notes of some nice sites for planning future camping trips.

   This is not a "wordy" book... it is simply maps and contact information for campsites - but the maps include all campsites, fishing, swimming, restrooms, etc etc. If you want a book that does some real chatting about the campgrounds or the region, this is NOT the book for you. However, if you want a book that clearly and accurately shows you the layout of any campground in the state before you blindly reserve a site, then buy this book.
   I sit down, go to reserveamerica.com, open my Campgrounds of NY book - and choose the best site for my camping trip. The guesswork is gone, and I have had nothing but good luck if I trusted my book. I'm sure a lot of work went into putting this book together in such a clear and helpful way - and it paid off!

   I love it!

1 comments about New York State Map (American Map).

1. This map literally fell apart at the folds the first time it was used. It was in pieces when we tried to use it for our return trip from New York state. The quality of the paper has to be the lowest.
   For the price, it should at least hold up for one complete trip!
   American Maps should be avoided if you are a serious map user.
