1. Very well done and professionally produced. I hope they provide updates in the future. Great gift idea for clients in the fashion biz.

5 comments about Avant Guide New York City: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture (Avant Guide New York City).

1. when we first scanned this guide we thought perhaps we were too old to appreciate it {my husband and I are in our fifties]. However, we loved every bit of it and were especially helped in terms of what not to do or where not to eat.



2. Honestly, I've been living in New York for the past two years, and I think I have a reasonably fair grasp on its nighlife, restaurants, whathaveyou. Not only did this book have a listing of some of my favorite spots, but it talked about some places I wish I'd known about earlier. Some good stuff here.



3. I love to travel and I love guidebooks. This one is the best series Ive seen. it makes me laugh, has a great senseability about the places I like and really feels like it was written by a friend. I never write these reviews, but Im inspired to write this one because the book is so good.



4. I am a big fan of the Avant-Guides. I used this book almost exclusively for a trip to NYC in the spring of 2002--thus some of the information had changed. Otherwise I would have rated it at a 5 star. The information on the museums and where to get the best deal on theater ticket was very helpful. I have since ordered the guides for Las Vegas, New Orleans and Toronto in hopes of finding the same cool, underground type of information provided for NYC. PLEASE--do guides for Montreal, Washington D.C. and Seattle.



5. I Just returned from 1 week business/pleasure visit to New York and I found this guide full of good recommendations and descriptions were accurate. Better than Lonely Planet or Time Out's, which I also bought. Quite a useful guide with plentiful restaurant, watering hole and sight-seeing suggestions. It's replete with valuable information about attractions, hotels, eateries, shops, spas, etc. Beyond this, however, the layout is terrific, and the book is remarkably easy to use as a result. The maps, in particular, are helpful.I'd definintely purchase an Avant Guide guidebook again. I am happy to say that this book was by far the best single-city guide I used.

1. One can only hope that more attention was paid to this guidebook's editorial veracity than to its terrible editing and (lack of) proofreading. Almost impossible to find a page without one or more typos, grammatical errors, run-together words and/or sentences that abruptly end in, well, mid-sentence. The self-described "Most Trusted Name in Travel" should be ashamed of this sloppy edition.

1. This is a great book for tourists and New Yorkers alike who are on a budget. It is filled with valuable information on where to shop, eat, visit, and stay. If only Mr Cheap could tell us how to get the book cheaper!

1. Three pop-up maps unfold to 18 times their original size then refold automatically. the only series of maps which hold global patent rights and a copyright as kinetic sculpture. Fully indexed, 3-D graphics, shirt-pocket fit. winner of the IDSA Gold award. what New Yorkers give their guests.

2. As I was planning my first trip to New York City last fall, my brother gave me his copy of New York City Unfolds. He was shocked that I hadn't already ordered one for my trip! What a life saver it was!

   Even if you aren't that great with a map, this makes it really simple and clear to understand. It shows all of the landmarks and major "tourist spots", and yet I didn't feel like I was fumbling around with a map that I couldn't get folded back up correctly.

   Probably the best part was the back page, which showed a great diagram of the subway system. I felt it was a better map than what I found provided by the NYC transit system, and easier to understand. The best part was that it was the size of a women's wallet, so I could hold it in my hand, or in a pocket with ease, and check it as needed, in order to make sure I was getting off at the right subway stop.

   I'd recommend this map to anyone going to NYC! Its better than most books and maps book together.




3. This map provides nothing that you can't get for free, except for many mistakes that will be sure to frustrate the traveler. I am German and go to New York often, but I wanted a handy guide. You can't even read the locations, and there were errors in facts and locations. Caveat emptor!
