Description

Discover New York through 8 districts and 8 maps 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. 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 - cafes, 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.

Reviews

The Washington Post says, The map guide lets you be inconspicuous: its as small and light as a novella, and its flip-out maps could pass as a flyer to a cool club.

Make sure you never lose your way in a strange city. Each of the Knopf MapGuides captures its citys pith in a package as small as a passport wallet Real Simple

Knopf MapGuides are handy, practical and perfect for those of us who are slightly impaired when it comes to map-reading. You dont have to search a huge crackling sheet with a microscopic index for one of 10,000 dots on the mapThe extraordinary quality of the books beautiful hues and heavy paper also give these $8.95 guides an evocative quality that stands apart from the glossy, garish look of most travel books.

A good, handy portable item for a quick trip San Francisco Chronicle
