1. I especially liked this map being printed on a non rip type mylar instead of paper. The detail is also teriffic.



2. Nicely crafted map however the listing cites a copyright of 2004 but the (new) map I received was actually copyrighted 2002. Unfortunately, this is too outdated for a dynamic city like New York. For example, it still has the Coliseum at Columbus Circle (which has been long gone) instead of the Time-Warner Center. For me, this is most disappointing. Friends, my recommendation when buying maps is always check the copyrighted date. You want something reasonably current.

4 comments about New York City from a Cab Driver's View.

1. I heard about this book from a friends mom, and about 2 years later, I rode in his cab and bought the book from him personally! It is a really fun book, especially for me to think that I was right there where all of those fun and crazy stories took place. Although the book is poorly written and has many grammatical and spelling errors, it's still a lot of fun. There are stories about people fighting over a seat in the taxi, a Chinese man leaving his baby in the taxi, and Mr. Da Silva even saved the marriage of an arguing couple!!!



2. I read this book for free on a taxi website made by Clever Da Silva himself. The book is basically a compilation of his life as a N.Y.C cab driver. He writes about some of his wacky adventures; some funny, some serious, and some that makes you think a little.

   The most funniest story in the book was when Clever had a passenger who took a dump in his car because he couldn't wait to go to the bathroom. Another funny story was when Clever "tricked" a man out of $20 by proving that he was "clever." But of course there were some serious stories like the one called "blonde angel (from hell)." If you're a cab driver, let's just say you shouldn't let anybody sit in the front passenger seat and take a look at your pay sheet! The unexpected might happen!

   Overall, I liked the book because it has some cool stories in it that almost made me wanted to be a cab driver. Now there were some grammar problems in the book that made some of the stories a little hard to follow (I had to re-read some of them to get it) but it wasn't that serious. After reading the stories in this book, I came to the realization that cab drivers have all the fun :)

4. book is a good first attempt about writing about taxi driver experiences. the story that i found most interesting was th eone where he was robbed by the blond woman. Overall its a little tough to get through. i wouldnt really recommend to anyone but if i saw another book by him i would take a look to see if his writing skills became better.

1. Usefulness is the key when it comes to travel books, and I have yet to find a more useful travel guide to any city. When my family and I planned our trip to New York City, we knew we only had a few days to see everything we wanted (not to mention the Broadway shows we had tickets for) but were at a loss as to how to plan our sightseeing. I mean, how many sights can you see in New York? How long can ne spend at the Metropolitan Museum and still have time to see other sights? What other sights are available in the same general area? Too many times on other trips, I'd see one thing and find, to my horror, that the other thing I wanted to see was on the other side of town and would close before I could get there! This book lays out for you in detail several different three-day tours you can take. It includes recommendations for lunch stops and evening activities. The section on the Metropolitan Museum was invaluable, as the museum is so large that, without this book, I never would have been able to see everything I wanted to see, and I would have missed some exhibits with which I fell in love...

   I highly recommend this book to everyone who's going to New York City. In fact, I recommended it to a friend of mine who lives in New York. She not only found it useful herself, but she bought the book so she could loan it out to friends who visit and stay with her.

   This book was a last-minute buy right before my trip, and I have to thank the travel-guide gods for my good fortune in finding it. The trip wouldn't have been the same without it! Now I'm planning a trip to London and Paris and have been lucky enough to find a book by the same author on London. Unfortunately, I'll have to wing it in Paris, as she doesn't have a book out about that city (too bad).




2. I can't blame anyone but myself. I read the first few pages of the book via the link provided here. I read the glowing review. Unfortunately, I failed to notice the publish date on the book OR the date of the review. This book was written in 1997. I've never been to New York, but I can only imagine that much of what is in the book is no longer valid. Example: The book is sending me to have lunch in Tower I of the WTC, and then take the escalator to the mezzanine of WTC Tower II to the TKTS booth for Broadway tickets.
   I MAY be able to use a couple of the maps, etc. but this was pretty much $20 (with shipping, etc.) wasted.
