2 comments about New York City: An Explorer's Guide, First Edition.

1. I did enjoy reading this book, and I do think it's useful-- just not as useful as it might be.

   First, you should be warned that most of the book is devoted to chronicling the neighborhoods of Manhattan. The "outer boroughs" section is very small, especially for the amount of territory it purports to cover.

   Second, the book is divided out by neighborhood, so you have to have some familiarity with Manhattan to be able to find the information you need. (You can't just look up "museums" and expect to find a listing of all New York's museums at your finger tips.) However, there is a nice index provided at the back of the book.

   If you are traveling to New York, I would recommend you use this book as a supplement to another guidebook.




2. Compiled and organized by Paul Karr, New York City: An Explorer's Guide is an in-depth survey and an impressive presentation of what makes New York City great. An ideal informational resource for tourist and resident alike, New York City: An Explorer's Guide provides "user friendly" recommendations among great museums of art and science; locales that feature music, dance, opera, on and off-Broadway theater; historic sites; religious places of worship; up-to-date maps (including the MTA subway system map); extensive restaurant recommendations; and so much more. From cover to cover, New York City: An Explorer's Guide is filled with top-notch suggestions, resulting in a truly first-rate guidebook for anyone visiting (or in permanent residence) wanting to know just what this great American city has to offer them.

1. This book is a must for out of town shoppers in New York City. It helps organize where to shop and includes a map where the stores are located. Since you have to depend on public transportation, it is difficult to get around and "shop" until you drop. The book includes stores listed by neighborhoods, addresses, and phone numbers. I called many stores before I arrived in the city and checked for availability of items that I wanted to purchase. My move was made easier by using this guide to see which stores were located in New York so that I could "preview" at home what I wanted to buy there.
