Book Reviews of Not for Tourists Guide to New York City with MapBook Review: Simply brilliant -- for tourists too Summary: 5 Stars
I tossed up about adding Not For Tourists to my purchases of three other New York guide books for my visit in February 2008. I'm so glad I decided to take a chance on it. This books is indispensable for both tourists and locals -- I went there as a tourist and left it behind for my son and his wife, who live in Manhattan and thought it was brilliant too. In all its aspects, NFT has been intelligently thought out from the user's point of view. The book is small enough to fit easily in a handbag, it is sturdily bound, and the spine incorporates an elastic loop that keeps it open at the page you are using. The organisation of the comprehensive information NFT contains is outstanding. NY is divided into small local 'chunks' (e.g. Upper West Side -- Lower) and for each area there are three double pages devoted respectively to Essentials, Entertainment and Transport. The map on the left-hand side shows the locations of the places in that particular category (e.g. in Entertainment, the cinemas, theatres, restaurants etc) whose names and other details are listed on the facing page. There are lots of other useful features in NFT, but I'm running out of space. Suffice to say that whatever you want to do in NY, this book will make it easy. Combine NFT with a Zagat 2008 Restaurant Guide and a general guide to NY (I had Fodor's) and you can't go wrong.
