5 comments about Native's Guide to New York: Advice With Attitude for People Who Live Here--And Visitors We Like (5th Edition).

1. New York is a world unto itself and what a treasure from someone who really knows that world...
   I wanted to learn how to tango, for example, and found great listings for classes, places to go to practice (and show off) my new "hot stuff" dirty dancing techniques and even tango restaurants and bistros for the tango obsessed! how great is that??
   But most of all, especially now, since new york is finding its feet again,(Grab your coat and get your hat! Leave your worries on the doorstep!) it's a generous spirited, insightful, warm-hearted guide to what makes New York a great place to live and visit. I love this book!



2. Mr. Laermer has written a guide book that is extemely useful to both Natives and tourists. In addition, it contains many inciteful and hilarious commentaries showing his profound love for what I think is the greatest city on the planet. In prepping for my commitment ceremony with my companion, we have bought a couple of dozen copies of Natives Guide to give to our out of town guests. We have people who have never been east of the Mississipi as well as European friends and we feel confident that this book will give them a comfort level so they will be able take on the challenge of touring the city. I highly recomment this book.



3. Here's why I find this book invaluable: I am a New Yorker, yet I'm able to use it as a guidebook to my own city. It has all kinds of out of the way places such as East Village eatery Veselka that would not appear in the typical tourists guide. And it is written in a way that's both edgy and accessible. I can only imagine that this book would be a great resource for non-New Yorkers.



4. Richard Laermer is an opinionated SOB who tells it the way it is, and that's just how native New Yorkers, transplanted New Yorkers and everybody else who loves the Big Apple likes it. he gives us a view of the city that is not prepackaged conspicuous consumption from Mayor Bloomberg's office and gives us the side of New York that cool people understand and wannabees seek out.

   This book rocks. This guy rocks. Enough said.




5. I bought this book so that I wouldn't look like an idiot during my first trip to New York City. Well, I'm sure I will still look like an idiot, but maybe not like this is my first vacation there. After reading this book, I feel that there is no way that I can only stay 4 days. There's too much to do! I appreciate that he writes of as many cheap places as expensive. I am a map nerd so I do miss that aspect.

1 comments about Cognoscenti Manhattan.

1. Printed by Michelin guides, Cognoscenti's travel-saavy maps recommend the best shopping, culinary, and cultural attractions Manhattan has to offer. The map features a clean, contemporary layout of the New York City from the Battery all the way up to 112nd Street. Recommended listings are numbered on the map in large readable font, and color coordinated according to subject. The index lists each entry along with its address, phone number, price-range, and a mini-review. Only the best restaurants, hotels, spas, stores, and museums are listed. Cognescenti maps are printed on tearproof, waterproof, flexible plastic material. rkchin. more map reviews at http://www.nychinatown.org/bookstore/index6.html
