An Essential guide to Manhattan
As first time visitors to New York (the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn only), this map guide was indispensable, we took it everywhere. The level of detail it included was not matched by any other map we had in any guidebook. It clearly listed all major places to visit from obvious ones such as the Empire State Building to the less obvious such as Katz's Deli (it also listed some major hotels). It was invaluable for using public transport, showing all subway and bus routes. Its design and size meant it could be used in all weathers and did not need to be folded like conventional maps - and could just about fit into a large coat pocket. If you are planning to see New York on foot (and not on the top deck of a bright red sightseeing bus) then buy this book - and a good pair of walking shoes!

The best brief mapguide of NY?
I bought this guide before heading to NY last year for apartment hunting, and think it is so good that I have now bought 3 more copies!! That way I can lend one to anyone visiting, & still keep my own copy. Based in the UK, with family in NY, means I need to find my way around, grasp the subway system etc, but I don't want a bulky book to cart around - this is the perfect one! Zagat tells me what I want, the map guide how to get there.

Very Necessary!
This little book was invaluable to our family. Saved us loads of time, enabling us to make the most of our trip to New York. Its small size was a bonus too - don't think we could have coped with a large 'fold out thing' on the city streets - it would soon have ended up in a bin! Cannot recommend this book highly enough - 'go buy it'!
