I recently got several books on New York for an upcoming trip. This one is my favorite. It is user friendly, and organized in an easy to use format. I especially like how it is broken up into neighborhoods, and then further broken down. If you happen to be in midtown and are hungry, you can find a good restaurant. Looking for an art museum, shopping, or garden is just as easy. Also it includes information on how to get tickets in advance, and website addresses when avail. Can't wait to use it.
