This opening fold-out contains a general map of New York to help you visualize the 8 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.
Discover New York through 8 districts and 8 maps
Downtown
Lower East Side/ East Village
SoHo/ Greenwich Village/ Chelsea/ TriBeCa
Midtown East
Times Square/ Theater District
Upper East Side
Upper West Side
Central Park/ Harlem
For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, tearooms, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that New York has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system (A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.
Transportation and hotels in New York
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.
A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.

Summary: Excellent Investment
Comment: This book is a wonderful help if you are planning on traveling to NYC. It breaks the city up into sections and has large detailed fold out maps of each section. It also has a subway map that can be a help; although it is not up to date I still found myslf using it to find subway stations and general information. Although if you are in NYC you should grab a subway/bus map right away and just use this as a backup.
The maps are on thick paper and easy to write on as well.

Summary: Been to NYC twice and this save my life...
Comment: The first time I went to New York, my mom bought this for our trip. It's been a life saver since. The maps are very detailed but small enough to carry with you without looking obnoxious. The subway map is detailed as well and when you use them with your sectioned maps, it completes the whole picture. This is a must have especially for first time visitors as the maps are very easy to read. I'm going on my third trip in two months and had to pick up another copy of this, as I can't seem to find my older one. I couldn't imagine a trip to NYC without it!

Summary: Excellent map
Comment: I went to New York for the first time for two weeks. This map is great. It's small, easy to carry, and easy to read. You won't feel so obvious if you have to pull it out on the street corner or on the subway. It was so much better than the full size map that I got from the hotel. Beware, it only covers Manhattan. So if you have to travel to the outer boroughs (Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, Queens) you'll need a different map. However, since all the siteseeing, shopping, and eating I wanted to do was located in Manhattan, it was the only map I needed.
