Summary: Not for Tourists?
Comment: Tourists are exactly what this book is designed for; it lacks a real feel for New York City. If you are truly a resident you will understand. Its listing of restaurants is pathetic, not in number, but in the fact that it misses the small places that are truly the best - forget the shopping portion completely. The list of sporting venues is alright, however it fall far short for entertainment venues (Roseland and Hammerstein Ballroom for example). As for a guide to "New York City", to live here you can't just consider Manhattan the city and all the rest the "outer boroughs". All in all, this is one to pass on unless you're just spending a few days here and need something to get around quick.

Summary: the most valuable thing I've bought in months!
Comment: A few weeks ago, I received my acceptance to NYU and I have decided to go there. After visiting the university (and the city for the 3rd time) I decided that it would be one of the greatest opportunities of my life and I was very excited. Once I made this difficult decision, I knew that one of the most important things would be for me to buy a simple easy-to-read guide to NYC so that I could learn my way around the city and get used to my new environment. So, I went to the bookstore and after browsing through at least 50 guides on NYC I bought this one.
It's been a few days, and I have already read the entire thing twice. I have looked at all the maps and all the information and have declared that this book is my bible. I know that once I move to NYC, this book is going to be the most useful of my posessions.
It has comprehensive maps of all 25 districts of Manhattan and each district has three maps: one with the essentials (ATMs, fire departments, hospitals, landmarks, libraries, 24hr pharmacies, post offices, supermarkets, etc.), one with sundries/entertainment (24 hr copy shops, bars, coffee places, gyms, hardware stores, movie theatres, restaurants, shopping, video rental, etc.) and one with transportation (subways, bus lines, car rental, gas stations, parking, etc.). There are also comprehensive maps of all of the outer boroughs.
It has maps and descriptions of all the Parks & Places (Battery Park, Central Park, Lincoln Center, Rockerfeller Center, Times Square, Union Square, etc.) and sports complexes (Madison Square Garden, Shea Stadium, Yankee Stadium, etc).
It contains information on all kids of transit, including biking, staking, ferries, airlines, maps of JFK airport and La Guardia airport and Newark Liberty airport, bridges and tunnes, driving and parking, bud linrd, Amtrack, Penn station, Grand Central Terminal, etc.
It also has general information on New York City, including NYC media, a calendar of events (I found this particularly lovely), Practical Info, Police, Fire Departments, Hospitals, Libraries, Gay & Lesbian, Landmarks, Post offices, Shipping Locations, Hotels, etc.)
Also, there is a wonderful Arts & Entertainment section, which includes Art galleries, bars, bookstores, clubs & cabarets, movie theatres, museums, restaurants, shopping, & theatre.
In the end, there was a fold out subway map of Manhattan and the outer boroughts!
All in all, I feel that this book is the most valuable thing that I have bought in months because it has tremendous amounts of useful information. Whether you've lived in NYC your whole life, just moved there, are planning to move there, or even are a tourist... this book is the most perfect collection of everything there is to know in NYC and everything there is to do there!
